Hi, Alexander!  Recently you wrote in a message to All:

AK>  If you have nothing to do - sneeze into ashtray.

AK>  PS: no article before ashtray? ;-)

  
          If this is a joke, I'd include the definite or indefinite acticle on the assumption that such containers might already have some ash in them & your next move could be a visit to the emergency ward.  WRT those who feel there is not enough drama in their lives I reckon they have various other options.  :-Q

          Adding to what Anton wrote:  years ago I noticed signs on many buses with the words "To open door, push gate".  But we don't usually talk that way.
