My first experience with a cigarette lighter like that was in the fifties in my dad's '54 Studebaker wagon. He left me alone in the car, and I pushed in the lighter, and when it popped out, I removed it and admired the cherry red glow, onto which I stuck my tongue. I threw the lighter out the window. I never heard a word about it, nor did I admit squat. No scars, but the memory is still very vivid.
That last one; the car cigarette lighter... Otherwise known as the fingerprint encrypter...
ReplyDeleteI have done that.
