“I once tried to sniff Coke, but the ice cubes blocked my nostrils”

One joke about Coke (Coca-Cola) and coke (cocaine) is:
 
“I once tried to sniff Coke, but the ice cubes blocked my nostrils.”
     
“I tried sniffing Coke once, but the ice cubes got stuck in my nose” was cited in a 1996 newsgroup. The jocular line has been printed on many images.
