If you’re going to carry a lighter, the only lighter you should be carrying is a Zippo. Even if you don’t have to use it to thwart terrorists or find hidden treasure like the great American film heroes of yore, you never know when you might need to start a fire or light a pretty girl’s cigarette.

We can’t think of a better way to get the Fourth of July party started.
