One time I sauntered down to the "smoking area", stuck my hands in my pockets, and joined in the conversation and joking. My supervisor finally asked me what I was doing there.
"Taking a smoke break," sez I.
"But you don't smoke!" sez he.
"You're right; I don't," sez I. "But aren't we all paid the same, whether we're working on the clock, or taking smoke breaks on the clock?"

I once told the range owner I was going to start joing the smokers on their breaks. He reminded me that I don't smoke. I rebutted that I certainly did; 1 hour cigars.
