Woke up from an afternoon nap and heard this on Doc Martin (ITV):

"Why are smokers always surprised when they're ill? Why do they think they're going to be the lucky ones who live to be 100? Did you think you'd make it to 70?"

"I'm 75."

"80?"

"My mother smoked a pipe until she was 93."

"And then she died."

"No, she lost her pipe."

Or was I dreaming?
