Tacky Souvenir Story
We have a tradition of buying the tackiest ashtray we could find
for my mother. The hope is to find an ashtray that is so tacky
that my mother will be so embarrassed to use it that she'll stop
smoking.
None of the ashtrays we've found has worked, but one came very
close. We got it in Puerto Rico. It's a whale covered with
little seashells. You put the cigarette in the whale's open
mouth, and the smoke comes up through the blow hole.
But I do have to register a complaint: With the demise of
smoking, it's getting harder and harder to find "good" tacky
ashtrays.
