    And I had no idea about this, but it makes sense having smokers standing outside and bored for great deals of time each day:

    What I want is a lighter sized MAP torch. Now THAT would be cool. Or hot, whatever.

    Most everybody who carried a Zippo, did some of the tricks shown in the video. Not all of them, but it did help to pass the time.

    Last night I was looking through some old stuff from my parents, both have passed away a while ago, and I found the Zippo lighter Bell Telephone gave my Dad for retiring after 40 years with Ma Bell.

    I wonder how many current companies would give it's employees lighters nowadays? NONE

    Anybody who stood any number of four hour deck watches could work a Zippo pretty much like many of those tricks. Gotta do sumptin to pass the time. How 'bout smoke a Camel about half way down and curl your lip and tongue back and close your mouth over it for a spell.
