New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart

I believe that the actual phrase is "Ghost's don't cob" and that somewhere back on the ASP newsgroup someone transposed this phrase and it took off.

I've never seen a manifested soul smoking a cob so it has got to be true.

I think a ghost's pipe material of chose is morta. That is why the Ancient Roman goddess of death was named after it.

This makes more sense than my belief it came from a coffee site thread titled "Clods Don't Roast". You have once again snapped things into sharp focus. Well done.

Just to remind everyone and short-circuit any controvery, Mrs. Muir's ghost (Rex Harrison) smoked briar.

This movie always makes Mrs. Moo and me cry.
