May the force surround you and you be heir to that force?

[ernest]

The external forces that act upon our desire to smoke a pipe are a silent but true calling.If you separated 4 brothers at birth and put each brother in a different area of the world,US-Canada-Australia-Russia, with no contact with each other,and all things being equal for now(such as temperature,food,water),and also,say they come from three generations of pipe smokers,....would they have a calling from an external force that may surround them,to be intrigued to pick up the pipe?? We have all heard comments about family's in different trades "oh,that runs in their blood".Is it possible for one to be heir to that force?

Good question.
I say no.
My belief is that it is more environment that influences this.

 

[ernest]

ah.yes Kevin.But for this experiment,we must pretend that environmental issues are identical,including tobacco availability.

 

[admin]

Oh, ok. Then, yes.

 

[ernest]

The important part of the question is that the brothers are seperated,

I dunno, but if any of them are wealthy and amass a small collection of Dunhills, Eltangs, Castellos, and Ardours before realizing that they are not into pipe smoking, I want first dibs on their pipes =)

I can't imagine any male on the paternal side of my family without a pipe.

not in my family...my other 2 brothers are as different in personality/interests as any 3 people on this earth could be.

There are many stories of twins separated at birth who discover that they are in identical occupations

or unknowingly lead parallel lives. They may, however, represent only a small percentage of all twins separated at birth.

I dunno about the statistical significance of such findings; but it is an eye-opener.

using the force:

darth vader would make a good pimp. most people would say that "pimpin aint easy" but it sure is easier when you can choke a b!tch from across the room.

You owe me a keyboard spacecowboy57. I just spit french roast all over mine and nearly choked to death laughing at your Darth Vader being a good pimp due to his ability to choke a bitch from across the room post.
