a Zippo lighter too close to an open can of lighter fluid.
Yes, I had an adult Zippo lighter that had all sorts of
little components to it, the flint, the spring, the spark
wheel, etc. Not a toy for children. My grandfather still
gave it to me for Christmas. After all, every would be
smoker had a lighter...
Those were the days when extremely dangerous
"toys" like rifles, bows and arrows and explosive
chemicals could be gotten without parental signatures
and be played with without adult supervision-
the good old days... I hid my burned up hand from
my folks, who never knew I scorched myself like
Peter Boyle's character in Young Frankenstein...
when I was young....
