Smoking lane

It's really amazing how the slightest combination of factors can give a major synergistic insight into the nature or essence of something.

Say you're driving down the street and you happen to see a man riding a bicycle. Alone, the fact that he rides a bike doesn't tell you much about that person. For example, it really gives you no idea about whether he earns a high income or a low income.

Same goes if you see a man smoking a cigarette. He may have a very high or very low income. You just can't tell.

However, you see a dude riding a bike and smoking a cigarette both at the same time? Come on, you get the point. He's probably not on his way to meet with his accountant about devising strategies for circumventing new Obama tax hikes.
