"So, how much do you smoke?"

"Eh, I'm just a case-a-day kind of guy."

'Course, he wouldn't need to smoke each cigarette back to back...

No, she said 6.9 quadrillion. Assuming the man started smoking at birth, that's about 10 million cigarettes every second, with absolutely no breaks.

I was off by a couple of decimal places.

Regardless, I suppose it's possible, although you'd lose a lot of the taste after awhile.

I'm frankly amazed that the billing statement program even allows a number that big. Are the credit card companies anticipating something, do you think?

No it couldn't -- they don't burn fast enough.

To put it into perspective another way, 6.9 million cigarettes is enough to smoke 3 a second ever since the start of the Cenozoic, 65 million years ago

That's totally inaccurate though. The purple one is clearly from the Jurassic era, whereas the green one is from the Triassic. Anachronism stew, it's good for the heart.

Only one question "Are you in favour of universal healthcare"?
