I was pondering recently why in film and TV when a bad guy starts a big fire, he/she always tosses a Zippo lighter to start the fire. Don't they know those things cost money? Not like a dollar Bic at the 7-11.

I had my grandfather's Zippo in my pants pocket on a training mission at the National Training Center, Ft. Irwin, CA. I had not idea the reason he had stopped using it was because it leaked. After my crew was 'killed' we were sitting around and I felt my leg burning. That fluid had leaked out and was burning my leg. Big red spot. Sort of turned me off from carrying a Zippo.
