Former NASCAR driver, Benny Parsons, is diagnosed with lung cancer:
"Needless to say this was a huge shock," Parsons said. "The first thing everyone asks me is, 'Are you a smoker?' The answer is that I smoked my last cigarette way back in 1978, and since then I've hated being around smoking.
As much as I wish that this were an exaggeration and the first thing that people really ask Benny Parsons is "How are you doing?" (or something to that extent), I know from shared experience that this is no exaggeration at all.
