Life Shavers

Life Shavers
(A crowd celebrates an election win.)

Bystander 1: It looks like the senator's been re-elected. (Her companion takes out a roll of candies and pops one into his mouth.) What's that? A lifesaver?

Bystander 2: These aren't lifesavers, they're life shavers.

Bystander 1: Life shavers?

Bystander 2: Yes, the perfect solution for smokers who still want a shortened life expectancy but without the nagging symptoms of fatal lung and heart diseases.

Bystander 1: But how?

Bystander 2: Each life shaver is coated with a drop of potassium cyanide too small to kill on its own. The poison builds up in the body over decades until it reaches a level which can cause instantaneous and painless death. So now, instead of lighting a cigarette to protest everything that offends me in this world, I just pop a life shaver.

Bystander 1: Can I have one?

Bystander 2: I'm afraid not. They're addictive.

Announcer: Life Shavers: good to your last breath.
