Today’s major headline is SAI. After a long persecution by Hollywood producers on a state payroll — and the film industry had heroes who were smokers but such vice is now left to the villains, usually actors who are unable to handle a cigarette in a casual and convincing fashion — and by endless TV series, smokers started feeling discriminated and developed psychosis such as that of... persecution?
In order to protect this dying and mortified species, nicotine addict António Dinis Lopes founded SAI, Smokers Anonymous International or GET OUT in Portuguese.
Governments are therefore encouraged, he said after some chronic coughing, to fund the association in Euro currency or Cuban cigars. Another measure is the justification for skipping work during a psychotic crisis. The labour laws of each nation must thus allow smokers to leave the premises, if applicable, and suspend their activity for an indefinite period of time until the crisis subsides, without incurring in any wage loss, not to aggravate their battered psychological condition.
The association's motto is: «Smoke makes you free», and the chairman was quick to deny its connection to a famous concentration camp cynical sign, but quicker to affirm his own connection to any cynical sign.
Smokers interested in joining this new anonymous association should add bellow their full name, complete address and phone or/and cell phone numbers.
