A report released by the Department Of Respiratory Affairs revealed that Brooklyn, NY smoker T.

Mayhew, whose sustained coughing fits can reportedly last more than 90 seconds, joins such steadfast phlegm-makers as coal miner Frank Wallersheim, five-glass-a-day milk drinker Bob Muncie, and gravel-voiced actor Wilford Brimley. The former top phlegm-producer, Saginaw, MI's Margaret Gunter, dropped abruptly off the list.
