I asked my brother what he thought of Lacan's cigars the other day, not Lacan himself, but just his cigars, and this is what he emailed me back,
"looks like a limp penis sticking out of his mouth for which his unconscious displays his impotence, castration from the Other but in his mouth so a verbal impotence. Lacan said that he would often go into lectures w/o planned speech, this signifying a verbal impotence of sorts. But limp or not its still a phallus and will press ahead despite its impotence"
Amazing. Certain interpretation Win.

Well, the interpretation...stands! And until some theory shall come to dethrone it, it shall remain valid! At any rate, congrats to your brother! (do send him more challenges as such!)
