Philanthropist and rancher Bob Norris, best known as the original 'Marlboro Man,' died earlier this week. He was 90.

"And he said, 'Well I'm kind of busy right now,'" Bobby Norris said of his father, laughing."He says, 'Why don't you come back next weekend if you're serious, and they did. They came back next weekend."Never a smoker himself, Norris had told his children that he didn't want to see them hacking a butt either.

Norris quit his career as the Marlboro Man the next day, his son said, bringing an end to the photo shoots after 12 years.

in other news, Bob confessed he never actually inhaled before his passing...

I wonder how much money they paid this man to convince others to do something that was bad for them?

Naturally, the one Marlboro Man to make it to 90 is the one that never smoked!

Was it a vape related illness?

Light one up for Bob!

His replacement did smoke. He died of lung cancer

Just think of how many people he personally killed with second hand smoke

What the Hell? They always said he died of lung cancer years ago. I’m gonna start smoking.

RIP

Dude was lit

Middle-Aged Man Having Best Snacks Of His LifeMORTON, MN—Marveling at the increases in both quality and satisfaction that have come with decades of experience, local 51-year-old Doug Kearns told reporters Tuesday that he has lately been having the best snacks of his life. “I try to slow down and really savor snacks these days,” said Kearns, attributing his growing fulfillment to the maturity that comes from a lifetime of having snacks. “Sure, I’m not having snacks as much as I did back in my twenties, but I’m much more comfortable mixing things up now. I’ve been open to being more experimental, and that has led to my enjoyment of some unbelievably hot snacks. And I’ve been having snacks all over the place: the kitchen, in the car—heck, last week I even had snacks in the tub. It’s been incredible.” Kearns added that, though he no longer rushes his way through snacks like he did in his youth, he does still tend to fall asleep immediately afterward. Ooh, he might be me in 30 years A boomer that is cultured? oh yeah Fake news
