Do you want a cigar?⁴³

The first day in Florida while I was running, I saw a young man smoking a cigar. He said to me, “Do you want to have a cigar?”

I waved my hand and said, “No, thank you.”

The man ran after me and said, “You thank me and you are not taking one.”

This time I just ignored him, so he stopped bothering me.
