• personal . . . virtue

I hadn't had a cigarette since 1990, but certain departmental events (note the external locus of control) in 2003 led me back to them. I now have not had a cigarette for a week; today the mental fog seems to have lifted, so I'm implementing the following policy. If you see me at the office or a conference and I am smoking a cigarette, I am required to pay you $1. You may claim this simply by pointing at the cigarette and rubbing your fingers together. This policy does not apply to pipes or cigars.
