The Malboro Man

I was in a night club the other day and I asked this guy if I could have a cigarette, because a waitress has managed to clear our whole table of tobacco. He obliged and I said thanks.
Then at several intervals through-out the night he kept popping up to me and giving me a cigarette, very generous.

After a while he said “I like you, (pause) because once I weighed’ (I can’t remember what he said here, because it was in a unit I never use, but lets just say it was a lot) and obviously he had lost lodes of weight. “I was so ashamed and I never went out” (at this moment in time he was getting on down to some fat house tunes.
“And you” he said, “You just don’t care what people think”.
This sounds like a double edged sword of a compliment to me? wasn’t quite sure how to take it, so I took another fag.
