How can a rifle smell like cigarettes?

I used to do computer support at the business where my sister was office manager.
( I got the work because I was cheap.)
So in the upstairs office where the accounting department was located, there were five women who were all smokers. The computers absolutely reeked of smoke and the insides were brown. I only ever brought one home to repair, after that I did all repairs onsite.
I even found a dead mouse that crawled into a 5 1/4" floppy drive once. Never smelled it, as it was probably overwhelmed by the smell of smoke. I think he died of cancer.

You'd really appreciate me when I lit up a nice fat cigar and blew the smoke in your face then.....

Wrap it in news paper and it will absorb odor.

That reminds of the smell of.newspapers in my younger.days. They don't smell like.they used to and I miss it. Don't know whether someone changed the ink or my nose went out on me.

Why would you do that?

Some things even Febreze can't defeat ... smoke, mothballs, popcorn (and I dislike Febreze too )

newspapers are a good idea

Considering that a deer's nose is myriads better than mine, the gun will get a thorough cleaning inside and out.

For a couple years I worked for the Health Dept in an adjoining county. One of the more distasteful jobs was recognition and elimination of marijuana and associated illegal drugs and all associated paraphernalia.

More than a few times this meant the total burning of a house. The house simply could not be brought back to safe living standards. So much MJ/drugs had been manufactured/smoked in the house - it soaked into the sheetrock - the carpet - even the wood floors and wood paneling.

There was this one house - a very nice farm house. Located out on the property and used for the farmers help. There was a brown ring around the ceiling. The ring extended down two feet from the ceiling and was in every room in the house. It looked just like a coffee stain.

Houses like this were so bad - everybody entering the house wore a full HazMat suit. You never knew if MJ was the only drugs used in the house.

Property owner legally notified of this condition - insurance company legally notified - fire department set the date - house burned to the ground - ash collected and properly disposed of at local landfill. This is a glossing over of the actual legal steps but does represent the facts.

I was so very glad I left the Health Dept in Anchorage BEFORE illegal drugs became a problem up there.

They did change the ink. I think it is soy based now, but in any case it was changed so it wouldn't come off on your hands. Don't miss that part of the old inks.

Another reason to live in Florida where indoor smoking has been banned. Keeps me from smacking you for your bad habits. Back in the day when I smoked, I would try to be considerate of others when I lit up. If someone intentionally blows smoke in my face, I won't take it well.

Keep in mind, I smack back.... Besides you don't want to do that anyway as I'm always carrying.

Nothing beats a good (cheap) stinky cigar.
