Smoking while praying Vespers. Jesuit vs Franciscan

A Jesuit and a Franciscan were praying Verspers on their own. The Jesuit was smoking while doing so. At the end, the Franciscan asked, "Did your superior allow you to do that? My didn't" The Jesuit responded, "How did you ask for permission?" The friar said, "Can I smoke while I pray?" Then the superior said, "Of course not, prayer is a holy activity." "That's your mistake right there" said the Jesuit. "You should have said, "Father, may I pray while I smoke?"
