Damn I'm a cheap SOB

I went out today and spent a chunk of money, but didn't buy a butane lighter. On purpose.

I still have a throw away butane lighter, and it has a ton of fluid in it.

There's a problem though. The valve doesn't work right, so I had to take the cover off of it, and to light a cigarette (yes, I'm an evil smoker) I have to take a pair of scissors and lift a portion of the lighter that lets the butane out. Then, I can strike it with another lighter that I saved that has some flint left (this one won't strike either) and light my cigarette.

I spent over a hundred gazillion dollars today at the store, but didn't want to spend 99 cents on a friggin lighter.

Are you a cheap SOB or do you spend nickels like there's no tomorrow?

What about smoking when you're out? You'll need broken lighter w/fluid, scissors, working lighter w/fluid.

lighter fluid is pretty cheap.
i usually buy flints,but sometimes scrounge them from old Bic lighters.

I know where I lost it, but someone else took it before I could get back to retrieve it. It was my greatest treasure.

It was a gift.

Do you have any idea what zippos cost these days!!!!!!

about $10. Also, if you smoke Camels, around me, they're selling promo ones where you buy two back and get a free zippo-type lighter. I have one of these and it works great. Hell, I even put it through the wash and dryer by accident and it's still fine.

are crap, I didn't buy a new lighter for several years, when the old one quit I bought a new one the wheel wouldn't spin, I bought another this one is tight, but will light.
