Donner und blitzen! Don’t you know that smoking is hussardous to your health?
Hans and Ulrich were convinced they’d win the World Moustache Championships, if they didn’t they’d show the judges how well their muskets worked.
Movember moustaches aside, how’s your prostate?
I say, Otto, have you got a matchlock?
Our new rifled Meerschaums can project a smoke screen to a hundred paces easily surpassing the clay pipes we previously used!.
Not only is my gun bigger than yours but so is my hat, my uniform, my moustache and clearly my pipe…oh sorry I forgot your lot don’t smoke!
You’re right Hans, recruits nowadays simply have no idea how to strike a heroic pose.
I’m studying smoke-screen tactics via pipeline technology!
I’m fighting tooth and nail to get this blasted pipe lit up, but it’s not working.
Since we landed in Mexico their tobacco’s gives me weird dreams.

I don’t care if it is a no smoking area, you and whose army is going to stop me?
OK Watson if you really feel that way I will go back to the curved pipe, deer stalker and tweed….you can change back too if you like!
