What I heard on the radio, today.

A recent study shows that those who smoke are a milliondybillion* times more likely to go blind due to macular degeneration in their later years. Another reason (as if we needed another) to quit smoking - especially we who like to read.

*Okay, that wasn't the exact number but I've forgotten what it was and needed to make the point that the percentage rate was very high.

From those of us who wuvvums those of you who smoke, the actual number was milliondybillion to the 10th power.

And I think the fine print said "cut it out now, dammit" (which of course, I could read, as I have perfect non-smoking eyesight)
