From The Fry Chronicles by Stephen Fry:
I was at a dinner party many years ago, sitting alongside Tom Stoppard, who in those days smoked not just between courses but between mouthfuls. An American woman opposite watched in disbelief.
“And you so intelligent!”
“Excuse me?” said Tom.
“Knowing those things are going to kill you,” she said, “and still you do it.”
“How differently I might behave,” Tom said, “if immortality were an option.”

Asal mula web Judi Poker Online Mengelokkan dipercaya di Dunia.
Dari segi buku Foster’ s Complete Hoyle, RF Foster menyelipkan “ Permainan situs pokerqq paling dipercaya dimainkan mula-mula di Amerika Serikat, lima kartu bikin masing masing pemain dari satu antaran kartu berisi 20 kartu”. Tetapi ada banyaknya ahli tarikh yg tidak setuju diantaranya David Parlett yg menguatkan jika permainan situs judi poker online paling dipercaya ini mirip seperti permainan kartu dari Persia yang dibawa oleh As-Nas. Kurang lebih sejahrawan menjelaskan nama produk ini diambil dari Poca Irlandi adalah Pron Pokah atau Pocket, tetapi masih menjadi abu-abu karena tidak dijumpai dengan pasti sapa yg menjelaskan permainan itu menjadi permainan poker.
Walau ada sisi per judian dalam semua tipe permainan ini, banyak pakar menjelaskan lebih jelas berkaitan gimana situs judi poker mampu menjadi game taruhan yang disenangi beberapa orang dalam Amerika Serikat. Itu berjalan bertepatan dengan munculnya betting di daerah sungai Mississippi dan daerah sekelilingnya pada tahun 1700 an serta 1800 an. Pada saat itu mungkin serius tampil terdapatnya keserupaan antara poker masa lalu dengan modern poker online tidak hanya pada trick berspekulasi tetapi sampai ke pikiran di tempat. Mungkin ini lah cikal akan munculnya permainan poker modern yg kalian ketahui sampai saat tersebut.
Riwayat awal timbulnya situs judi poker paling dipercaya Di dalam graha judi, salon sampai kapal-kapal yg siapkan arena betting yg ada didaerah setengah Mississippi, mereka terkadang bermain cukup hanya manfaatkan 1 dek yg beberapa 20 kartu (seperti permainan as-nas). Game itu terkadang dimainkan langsung tidak dengan diundi, langsung menang, punya putaran taruhan, dapat meningkatkan perhitungan taruhan seperi game as-nas.
Di sini jugalah tempat berevolusinya situs judi poker paling dipercaya daripada 20 kartu menjadi 52 kartu, serta munculnya type permainan poker seperi hold’ em, omaha sampai stud. Herannya orang melihat bila poker stud jadi poker pertama dan classic yang telah dimainkan lebih daripada 200 tahun.
Diakhir tahun 1800 an sajian Poker Online mulai disematkan lagi ketentuan baru diantaranya straight dan flush serta beberapa type tipe yang lain lain seperti tipe poker low ball, wild cards, community cards of one mode dan lainnya.
Can’t resist adding Robert Benchley’s riposte when an observer said of his martini consumption, “Don’t you know that’s slow death?” “I’m in no hurry.”
Too beautiful. Thanks-a-million.
I’m not sure I understand either the logic or the humor of Stoppard’s supposed bon mot. Inasmuch as Stoppard implicitly accepts the American woman’s premise that cigarette smoking significantly shortens one’s life, his reaction is just illogical and not a witticism because smoking would seem to be an activity suited only for one who is indeed immortal. Thus, the American woman is right and Stoppard is a self-destructive fool who is trying to sound clever.
See Geoff G’s comment for a similar notion: immortality not being an option, the question is how to live, for how long. Stoppard is saying he believes he’s making an informed choice to live a happier and shorter life (and, I suppose, typically dying quickly - lung cancer is horrifyingly efficient) with smoking, rather than living a longer time without.
In the same spirit, as the Stoppard and Benchley quotes, Tim Maia, a very rotund, Brazilian singer said he went on a rigorous diet in which he cut out all alcohol, fatty foods and sugar. He said in two weeks he lost 14 days.
Someone said that “I spent my fortune on booze, women, and fast cars. The rest I wasted.”
believe that was George Best
In his book, Fry also describes another fellow who is told that “Quitting smoking makes you live longer!”, to which he replies “It only *seems* longer”
I was a dedicated smoker for thirty years or more. I’m glad I quit. I don’t regret smoking or for that matter all the other stuff I did that people told me would wreck my life. My only real regrets in life are so many things I didn’t do.
Now that I don’t smoke I get to see how abnoxious it is to breath other peoples’ smoke. I keep my peace and do my penance. I do regret subjecting folks around me to all that stink for all those years.
“As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain from smoking when awake.” —Mark Twain
“I know a man who gave up smoking, drinking, sex, and rich food. He was healthy right up to the day he killed himself.” —Johnny Carson
“It is now proved beyond doubt that smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.” —Fletcher Knebel
“People always come up to me and say that my smoking is bothering them… Well, it’s killing me!” —Wendy Liebman
“They’re talking about banning cigarette smoking now in any place that’s used by ten or more people in a week, which, I guess, means that Madonna can’t even smoke in bed.” —Bill Maher
