Run Dave! The guy in the green shirt doesn't look too happy.

Apparently many of the smokers have a hard time hitting that red bucket that is sitting right behind these two.

Is that a handicapped smokers area? Red wheelchair sign in the background?

RE: Handicapped sign in the back. Giess they don't have a sign for "Stupid" for the smokers.

What... no vodka ?

Not every sport requires superhuman fitness. Maybe it's the shooting (or shooter) team. I know those nerds who walk funny probably smoke funny as well. Only explanation.

Clankie,
In the immortal words of Tommy Smothers,
You drink too much wodka, you womit....

There's a fire extinguisher (at left) in case any smokers or their wodka spontaneously combust. We assume Usain Bolt will lead the rapid responders.

If I were walking past that cage and had respiratory failure, with my last breath I would crawl away from them before they attempted to give me mouth-to-mouth.
Russian ashtray breath. I'll die first.

I thought things were tough in the US where I see smokers hiding from anti-smoking zealots in alley-ways and behind buildings, but the anti-smoking mania must be really bad in England if the smokers have to put up a chain-link fence to keep them away.

I see where smokers have to sit in a cage now.
Posted by: Theresa | August 11, 2012 at 08:44 AM
Theresa, here's an even better idea.
Posted by: padraig | August 11, 2012 at 09:47 AM
You silly people...the fence isn't there to protect the smokers; it's to keep the smoke in.

Padraig, YES! Next let's extend the cone to completely enclose the idjits having private mega-decibel conversations on their cell phones.
We need the Cone of Silence, not just the cone of Sucking Smoke...
