The Drive-Ins

"I purposely avoided including drive-ins, as most of those reminiscences may be
inappropriate for a ... (ahem) ... 'family' web site."

 "Actually, two of my funniest memories involve a drive-in:

"In the interest of being discreet,   I'll omit the name of my date. 
We decided it would be 'interesting' to go into the snack bar and buy two of every smoke-able object there,
and spend the evening testing them.  So throughout the movie, we each smoked a cigarette, a Tiparillo, a cigar, and a pipe. 
The Tiparillo was actually kinda fun, but the end result was that I burnt my nose trying to light my cigarette. 
I decided it wouldn't really be a good hobby for me, if it required constant assistance from someone else -
not to mention the fact that I'm far too big a cheapskate to pay big bucks for something I'm just planning to set afire. 
At the end of the evening, even though we had had much fun, I was a bit nauseated, and a confirmed non-smoker.

    "My other funny drive-in experience was with a bunch of girls piled in someone's car -
and I've no idea who those girls were at this late date -
to watch (gasp!) "Mondo Cane"!  How shockingly daring of us! 
When we weren't gagging, we were laughing at how naughty we were for being there."
