- > [anecdote about whales in an aquarium blowing and playing with air ring]
-
- I once knew a guy who was released from jail after 22 years. He could blow
- nested smoke rings, but more impressive was his ability to flip lit cigarettes
- from his mouth, into the air, and into his mouth again. He had some pretty
- good scars from learning the trick, too.
-
- Confinement, time, and an unchanging simplistic environment are great teachers
- of weird skills.
