Choke on This

Afishionados,

Remember the Navy Cash Card program? Well, it’s up and running onboard the Lincoln, now. The card slots on the vending machines have LCD screens that scroll and flash little messages across them.

One of the vending machines sells cigarettes. I had to look twice at the machine’s scrolling LCD panel, because I wasn’t sure that I was reading it correctly. Upon closer examination, it turns out I had.

The LCD message was simple: “Hungry?”

    “Hungry?”
    “Why, yes I am. I think I’ll eat this nice box of cigarettes. Oh, and a packet of menthols for after.”

    Someone obviously couldn’t tell the difference between cigarettes and Mars bars.
