Bean town Sully applied to the Massachusetts People’s Health Insurance Connector for insurance. They conducted an interview.
“Comrade Sully, do you smoke?”
“Yes, I do a little.”
“Do you know that Governor Romney does not smoke and advised other commonwealthers not to smoke?”
“If Governor Romney said so, I shall cease smoking.”
