Smoke Rings

When I was in my twenties, there was an African urban legend that some American billionaire had offered a million dollars for the first person to succeed in blowing a smoke ring through another smoke ring and a third.

It is an apparent impossibility since, when tried, one finds that the second smoke ring, in passing through the first, destroys it.

Undeterred, I practised hard and eventually succeeded in getting a third smoke ring to pass through the second as it passed through the first. It was all a matter of precise timing.

I am still awaiting my million dollars.
