Abusing freebiesA friend of mine recently attended a 'Champaign Lunch', where he was compelled drink as much fizzy stuff as he could between the first and last courses. In an ideal world we'd ask restaurant staff to tell us stories about fatties stuffing themselves at All You Can Eat places, but we recognise that our members don't all work in the catering trade, so for the rest of you - tell us something about abusing freebies. BTW: Bee puns = you fail.

Smoke free areaBack in the days, when I smoked we worked out a free ciggie scam. In the summer we'd be drinking outside the bars of the Arcadian "entertainment" area of Brum. Sometimes you'd get girls from Marlboro (not Middlesbrough) coming around with a promotion. It went like this;
MG: Do you smoke?
Me: Yes
MG: Which brand?
Me: Royals (I was poor)
MG: Would you like to swap your pack and it's contents for a brand new pack of Marlboro Reds, Mediums or Lights?
Me: Why yes please, that would be lovely.
Especially as when I saw her coming I'd stuffed all but one of my ciggies into my jacket pockets.

I did that once!A friend of mine told me of the girls wandering around this one college bar giving out samples of Camel cigarettes and free lighters if you showed them an ID. I got two packs and a copper Zippo that I still have and sometimes use...

The Embassy girlsused to give out free packs in Snobs back in the day. You didn't even have to prove you were a smoker.
Talk about getting the kids hooked!
