Napoleon said; "pipesmoking is for them who dont know what to do with their time"...if i remeber right.

also, let us not forget the "thinking man" look. Cross your arms, with pipe in hand, and place the stem just barely in your pursed lips. Or just place the stem at your lip. This is truly a classic look and gives the impression that you are of the contemplative ilk.

Now once you have mastered the pipe pointing you can use it to complete the considering an idea maneuver. This is for advance smokers because it requires you to know your pipe is lit. You will lose all street cred if you do this manuever without the ability to take a puff on your pipe.

So if someone comes up to you with an acceptable idea (you wouldn't waste the maneuver on someone who brings you a stupid idea) you grab your pipe and hold it in your mouth. For the best affect you hold the pipe with your right hand in the left side of your mouth or vice versa. Turn your chair so that the side of your face that has the pipe is facing the idea bringer(s) and lean back if possible and look at the ceiling. Pause for a few moments as though you are considering the pros and cons. Take a puff. Sit right in your chair again and then pipe point at the person or persons and tell them they may be on to something with that idea. If it is a single person you can do a slight pipe point wave.

But you must master pipe pointing before moving on to such complex maneuvers.

Let's keep it simple for the class Rolando - no complex manuevers yet - the point/wave is a bit down the road. One step at a time! Many repetitions of these techniques and they'll eventually perfect them and be ready to move on to the next.

I just want to give them something to look forward to.

There is another beginner move but it is highly controversial. It is for pipe smokers with beards. It requires holding a pipe with one hand in your mouth while stroking your chin contemplatively with the other. The anti-smoke n stroke camp say that it is too much going on and I tend to agree. The pro smoke n stroke say the anti people don't like it because they can't pull it off similiar to walking and chewing gum argument.

To the pro people I say "Bite me".

I feel the same about the smoke n pull maneuver that is done with moustaches.

Who will speak up for the hairless amongst us?!! They should be able to contemplatively chin stroke as well! I smell discrimination!!!

[Rolando]

That is nothing a little rogaine can't solve. I have grown thick luscious armpit hair thanks to rogaine. Smear some on your face and you will have hair before you know it.

So I discovered tonight that my home made is really great for pointing. It is just the right size and shape, it fits comfortably in the hand and points to exactly what I want it too .



If I can get some photos without getting locked up, I will demonstrate

[Hermit]

Interesting shape.
Nice work!

[TOB9595]

WELL DONE!!!
Looks as if it fits in the hand quite well.
The shape is commendable

Nice pipe, and it definitely looks like a pointer!

[andrewsutherland2002]

Don't worry. I've been practicing. Similar to the Bill Clinton thumbs up point

I feel your pain

My wife warned me that if I pointed at her, the pipe would be pointing out of me! I don't think that shee understood the importance and cultural impact that the point could have
