SCHIP

This is a piece of "Found Art". I did not do this. I found it inside an old LIFE magazine. Some unknown artist had cut out a couple of cigarettes from elsewhere in the magazine and glued them up the baby's nose. Then they apparently took an eraser to create the smoke and make the baby's eyes look a tad Satanic. It gave me a laugh, so I cut it out and framed it.

It's the perfect illustration for the "S.C.H.I.P" debate.

Those poor smoking babies. Now they'll have to pay for their own medical care looks like.

Sheez! Sixty-one cents a pack?!! How the hell's a baby gonna afford to smoke any more? Much less two at a time.

I suppose someday it'll come down to only one smoker left in the whole world and he or she will have to foot the medical bills for everybody. The tax on a pack of cigarettes will be about ten million dollars by then, or $ 500,000 per cigarette.

Luckily, with my new job as a hedge fund manager, I should be able to afford it.

Eek! Poor little baby. Looks like he got hold of some really bad weed.

Hmmm. Never thought of that. Maybe they AREN'T cigarettes, they're spliffs! Well, in that case, I have no sympathy for the babies.

I have no sympathy for the babies anyway. They want my sympathy, they can get a job and pay me for it!

{shakin'head} Oh, ummm.. sorry. Nevermind that. Thought I was a Rethuglican for minute there, that's all.
