SMOKE `EM IF YOU GOT `EM
Bad Time for a Nicotine Fit

Trent Eugene Robinson picked the wrong day to give up smoking.

News from Atlanta:

In the end, the need for a smoke proved just too hard to resist.

A man who climbed up a crane in Buckhead and kept police at bay for six hours finally came down on his own after running out of cigarettes early Tuesday morning.

“We obliged him by sending someone to get some more and eventually it seems he wanted another cigarette and he came down for it,” said a visibly tired Atlanta police Maj. C.W. Moss at 3:45 a.m. Tuesday.

Note to smoking crane climbers: Plan ahead.
