Schmelnoz once told me that the Zippo lighter is the pinnacle of man’s creation.
“Think about it,” he said.
Actually he probably said something more like, “Surmise Spamrider upon the following megrim…”
But as usual I’m transliterating here.
So he said, “Think about it. Instant fire in a little pocket-sized indestructible metal box. If you humans had just quit while you were ahead the entire universe would be better off right now.”
And at the risk of repeating myself again (again), I couldn’t really argue with him.
