Marina Skentzou, the<br /> waitress, on the other hand, maintained that the total tally was 3<br /> cigarettes, and no less.</p> <p>"It was clear to me that this particular customer didn't smoke more<br /> than 3 cigarettes during his stay in the cafeteria. Then again, it was<br /> also quite evident that he couldn't have smoked 2 or less.", Skentzou<br /> told a NewsBiscuit reporter who had arrived on the scene.</p> <p>Katsikaris, on the other hand, reportedly answered: "My pack had five<br /> cigarettes in it when I sat down to drink this Mocha Crappuccino miss<br /> short-sighted over there served me. Now, it has one. Do the math. All<br /> my friends are non-smokers, and so is my dog, Madame Woozypants. Isn't<br /> that right, my little sweetheart?" he added, before stroking a<br /> particularly confused chihuahua sitting on his lap.</p> <p>Local bystanders refused to comment, citing phrases such as "Who the<br /> fuck cares" and "What the hell is wrong with you" as the reasons<br /> behind their silence.</p> <p>The ashtray used by Katsikaris has been seized by local police in<br /> order to shed light on the ongoing mystery. Lab results are expected<br /> to be released by the end of the week. According to reliable sources, Greek Police are expected to use advanced laboratory techniques to estimate the number of cigarettes smoked by Katsikaris, such as, but not limited to, "counting the number of cigarette buds".</p> <p>Dick Justice, for NewsBiscuit </p>
