Taboo scammed me... WTF

Not to disparage Cigarmonkel's impressive feat (to say nothing of Taboo), but anybody can do this, it's not hard at all!

"Clarence Darrow, of Scopes monkey trial fame, has a reputation as the best trial lawyer in U.S. history, an icon to many in the profession. There are many, many stories, but one of the favorites relates to a trial tactic.

Watching His Ash

Seems the inventive Mr. Darrow would push a wire through the middle of his cigar prior to trial, then light up as the opposing counsel made closing remarks. After a while, all of the jurors would be watching the huge ash "precariously" hanging off the end of his cigar, wondering when it would fall, rather than listening to the opposing counsel's arguments."

Awesome piece of info. Was his cigar smoking tactics seen in Inherit the Wind?

I have known about his sneaky tactics for quite a while... but i did not do this. I am well aware anyone can do this at anytime so why would i take the time to upload pictures from my camera to photobooth then make this huge deal out of it??? besides... smoking a metal paperclip?:pu:pu. I can proudy say i didn't use any wires or stick anything in or around my cigar like i had already stated earlier in this thread.
