The latest height of convenience! Using new speaker-independent voice recognition technology, you just speak the command "Light" and the lighter pops out a flame. No more difficult thumbwheels.

But. Voice-activated lighter in trouser pocket, someone mentions the opposite of heavy, and WOOF! your wedding tackle's up in flames. |

Robert Plant walks into a room with his voice activated lighter in his pants and someone puts on "In The Light" (Physical Graffiti album) |

I've never come across a lighter with a thumbwheel that was "difficult". |
|

tanimac: I have encountered lighters with "difficult" thumbwheels; deliberately designed that way so as to be "child-resistant". The only lighter on which I ever burned my finger [not badly, fortunately] was one of those blasted things that I had to hold awkwardly to operate. Still no croissant for this one, though, since the likelihood of unintended deployment would be too great. |

Perhaps this is just a thinly-veiled attempt to rid the world of smokers. A-ha! I have discovered your nefarious plan, Krate, and I am here to put a stop to it. Hey, wait a minute. I don't smoke. I don't like smoke. I can't stand those stinky, smelly smokers. |

Uh, yeah! Right on! Great idea! Woo-hoo and all that stuff. |

<scenario>All the smokers in the southern bapist church have set their lighters to go off at the words of "Let there be light!" They come in ine Sunday morning for the sermon. The preacher starts zealosly on Genesis.</scenario> <headline> Church fire kills ten leaves rest praising the Lord </headline> |

I think it's a real good idea. But sometimes it's difficult to speak with a cigarette/cigar in your mouth (or with a tracheotomy). So it would be a nice feature to add
a button that would play a recording of someone saying "Light" when you pressed it. |

An arabic friend of mine said that he once had a lighter where all you had to do was break an infrared beam. |
|
| |
thought he was going to say break - wind |
|

And even if you fit it with voice recognition so it only goes of at your command:
"..and a Coke Light...AAAARGGGH!" |
|
| |
How lazy do you have to be where you won't even take the time to move your thumb a bit to light your cigarrete? |
|
| |
i agree with mike...were getting wayyyy to lazy. we just gonna get fatter you know. if not a lighter what else is gonna work our thumbs out? |
|
| |
Right, thumb obesity is one of the top ten killers in America. |
|
| |
Gosh, I hit every single 'light' on the way to work today. YEEEEOOOOOOWWWWW!! |
