The answer is really, really hot. <br /><br />I cannot picture you doing these silly things.

But I didn't smoke.<br /><br />My Dad smoked back in the day, and I had the task of emptying his ashtray into the garbage. (We kids also got to run the the store with two bucks to get him two packs of smokes and keep the change to buy ourselves candy, but that's another story.) I was told to never blow into an ashtray, but did I listen? No. Temporary blindness.<br /><br />And then there's the time that Russell and I were playing in his family's car. Don't ask me why we were playing in their car parked in their driveway. We were. It made sense at the time. So he shows me how the cigarette lighter works. Fascinating! He warns me not to touch the glowing orange inside part. But do I heed this warning? Of course not. I had a wicked burn that melted my fingertip into a partial impression of that concentric circles pattern of the cigarette lighter. Go, me.Diane E.
