Don't pick up lighters!
I must have been about 11 years old and going through my pyromaniac stage of life! Whilst walking the dog I found a half melted lighter just sticking out the soil. "I'll have that me thinks!" So when I got home I was straight up to my room to have a play with my new find. It lit on the 1st attempt, it lit well!! Would it go out?? Would it f##k! With a flame edging closer to my little hands, and my ass twitching like a rabbits nose I had no option to drop it. What an intelligent 11 year old I was...... straight into my waste paper bin - whoosh! Off I marched to the bog, thinking that a glass of water will sort the problem out. Then my mum who has heard all the comotion marches up stairs - to see my room blazing!! What a scroting I got... Still I didn't get asked to walk the dog again!
