Actually...I had tried to smoke one once before that, but I don't really count it because I was having a blonde moment and didn't quite get it, so I guess you were the one who introduced me officially to it.
Have you succeeded in dragging Kenny and Debbie up there yet?
When I was stationed in Germany, a lot of the bars had hookahs for the patrons. I never tried it though.
In Iraq, the people are into smoking tobacco with hookahs. When we would patrol, it is an unwritten rule to take what the locals offer you such as home made bread, tea, etc.
Well one day, we were questioning some people in a village and they bust out a hookah. Beats the fuck out of me what we were smoking, but we left there walking down the road a little cross eyed. It wasn't bad though, a little burny on the throat but i'm not a smoker or anything so who knows.
Two photos from my hotel room on a trip to Aqaba, Jordan. One of the swimming pool with the Red Sea (Gulf of Aqaba) in the background, the second of the "wall of hookahs".
