My favorite is definitely the "stroller" in the kitchen.
When we were kids we were sent to the store (or to the machine in the lobby of the apartment building across the street) to get our parents cigarettes regularly.
My father would give me a quarter, and I'd go to Mrs. Hall's little store and buy him a pack of Camels. With the nickel in change, I'd buy myself a Dr Pepper.
I sent this article to my siblings and my brother reminded me of how we would get on our bikes and follow the mosquito fumigation truck around the neighborhood. God knows what we were inhaling from that!

Even then the stores weren't supposed to sell cigarettes to kids but the guy on the corner knew us and knew it was for our parents.

Sometimes when I'm jogging in the morning, the spraying truck comes around. I try to avoid it, but there's not much chance of it.
