The Washington Post reports that Marriott Hotels are going smoke-free. The article notes Marriott’s insistence that the move was motivated by concern for the bottom line, and not the health of its clientele.
From Futurama, “A Flight To Remember”:
Bender: You all go without me. I’m gonna take one last look around. You know, for, uh, stuff to steal.
Fry: You’re going back for the Countess, aren’t you?
Bender: Alright, I am. But I don’t want the others to know. If I don’t come back, just say I died robbing some old man.
Fry: I’ll tell them you went out prying the wedding ring off his cold, dead finger.
