Cigar

I''d like to share an incident I witnessed years ago.  
There was a luncheonette in my neighborhood where I often ate.  Everyone on the staff was polite to me.   The waitress brought my toast cut and buttered, no questions asked.
One morning I went there for breakfast.  The area I sat in had two tables
next to each other.  At the table in front of me sat a woman and a baby in a highchair.   At the table next to theirs sat a man whose breakfast (which included eggs sunnyside up) had already been served.
The man lit a cigar, even though we were in a nonsmoking section.
"Excuse me," the woman said, "but this is a nonsmoking area."
"So?" the guy asked.
"So please put out your cigar.  The smoke is bothering my baby."
I'll never forget what happened next, what that jerk did.
"Oh, yeah?" he said...
 and then he BLEW THE SMOKE INTO THE BABY'S FACE!!!!
The mother stood up, and seconds later that creep was WEARING
his breakfast!
Good for that mother!
