How to poisen yourself for eight dollars.

On the recent great hunting trip Kadizzle managed to lose an eight dollar cigar. Since it was just not right, Kadizzle went to the cigar store yesterday and bought the same cigar. The Commander had left instructions that when she returns from Denver the yard is to be free of leaves. The death penalty was threatened. So Kadizzle merrily went about cleaning the yard with the eight dollar cigar puffing away. Somewhere near the end of the job the nicotine poisoning struck. For awhile Kadizzle though it might be the last day of his life. Kadizzle considered leaving word with The Commander that if she came home and found his cigar smelling body in a heap it was the cigar that did it. After a brief puking session, and a series of cold sweats the sickness went away. Kadizzle decided to check the toxicology of nicotine. Children can be killed by chewing nicotine gum. Nicotine is used in insecticides to kill insects. One giant refrigerator bug was just about killed at our house with it. This is not the first time old Kadizzle has experienced the fine feeling of a little nicotine poison. In College Kadizzle's body was simultaneously trying to evacuate some nicotine from chewing tobacco. That was the last attempt at that. After yesterdays lesson, it may be a long time before Kadizzle tries another cigar. Old hillbilly farmers used to tell Kadizzle a wad of chewing tobacco would rid a horse of worms. So there is a good side to my spell yesterday.
