Myself and a friend decided to share a cigarette in the toilets one day. This was fairly common practice way back then. You'd get someone to look out and they would cough if a teacher was coming. It wasn't flawless but it has a high success rate.
So we're utterly destroying one cigarette between the two of us as quickly as we can and there's a cough followed by loud banging on the door. We're rumbled.
"OPEN UP. I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE"
So we open the door, sheepishly.
"WHAT WERE YOU BOYS DOING IN THERE?"
Now we're both confused and look at each other. I timidly reply:
"Smoking, sir"
"WELL I HOPE THAT'S ALL YOU WERE DOING"
and the man stormed off. We couldn't believe our luck. Smoking apparently A-OK once you're not being gay.
Good thing you didn't use British English, then.
"sucking off some fags sir"
I don't get this (as I do use British English). Could you explain?
They probably meant fags as word for cigarettes
Ah!!!!! Makes perfect sense. Thank you!
