1. The life of a smoker
I have four lighters at my house and I don't smoke. Beat that!

5. I actually know the locations of all 5 of my non-disposable lighters
currently. Okay, well the 5th one is kind of a cheat because I don't use it. It's always in my nightstand, so I don't lose it. The other four are subject to constant misplacing though.

3. I used to have a bad habit in my college years....
I would go out to bars (often) and smoked a lot at the time. I would wind up coming home with several lighters each night. I truly didn't mean to steal them, I would bum a light off somebody and then place the lighter in my pocket (unconsciously of course). Lighter thief I was. I spent ten years in prison because of this issue.

6. My friend Erec is like that!
He will never have a lighter ever when he goes out, but I go back to his apartment and he has a ton of lighters, at least three of which will be mine!

4. So, it was you.
I keep losing lighters. You are one of those lighter hoarders. I am one of those lighter losers. Does this mean we would compliment each other. I'll take 25 of them off your hands. I'll bet I would lose them in 1 month or less.

7. The life of a smoker
and pot smoker...:) My old pot head friends would make a little game of stealing lighters, and whoever had the most stolen one, won the game, and got a free bowl, as a prize...the contest would usually go for a month solid before figuring out the winner...:)

9. I have about that many, but I don't want 'em
At the shop where I purchase tobacco, the manager gives you a lighter every time you buy a carton or a can of loose tobacco. I always tell him I don't need any more, but he forgets and I get tired of mentioning it because he's such a nice guy.

I don't know how to properly dispose of 'em and you can't mail 'em, so... :shrug:

11. Where?
Somewhere that kids could pick 'em up?

In this politically correct society, I'm afraid anything like that would be seen as promoting smoking or pyromania or something.

13. It is
I just wanna give 'em to somebody who could use 'em.

A bar's prolly the best bet, I guess. Maybe one of the biker bars downtown.

Barring that, I wish I knew of a proper way to dispose of 'em. (Read: recycle.)



BTW — nice butt. :hi:
