Dealing with people who complain if a gar is smoked

[fiddlegrin]

On a regular basis I have been seeing threads that explain how a botl or sotl has had to deal with people that complain about a gar being smoked in the same square block as them.

Ya know what we need?

Some business sized cards that have an appropriate, well thought out, respectful response on them.
When someone starts pissing and moaning we could just hand them one.

This way we won't have to interrupt our peaceful meditations or current activity to have a dialogue with them.

Hopefully this would help us to diffuse or at least deflect their negativity and enable us to continue to enjoy our stick without any drama or more dialogue.

How should we phrase it?

Any input would be appreciated. I will be happy to try and do a compilation of our ideas.

Thanks for your help!

I usually say "I don't give you shit for smoking pole, don't give me any for smoking this cigar".

How about; "Your objection is duly noted. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must return promptly to my rumination".

"I belong to the Joya De Torcedores Church. It has been in existence since the days of Christopher Columbus. Many of our members have fled the ruthless oppression of the ruling elite to enjoy the wonderful religious freedom of this country. I must apologize that my religion forbids my engaging in conversation during daily prayer. We believe that the exhaled smoke from our palo de la oraciónes (prayer sticks), carries our prayers of peace and goodwill as it wafts gently to the heavens, blessing all with whom it comes in contact. If you wish, I will be happy to bestow upon you a special blessing. Simply bow your head silently in prayer, while I exhale the cleansing smoke over your body, purging you of unclean spirits and bringing you into harmonious alignment with the Maker. Vaya con Dios my brother."
