New Busine$$ Plan

I read with interest that airports are now going to ban cigarette lighters. I find this interesting since they can't even find my mom's scissors, but that's another problem. My main thoughts: how can I exploit this new ban to my financial gain? And I have part of that answer.


I will set up a large comically-oversized "take a penny, leave a penny" box that will hold lighters instead of pennies. When you go to the airport, ditch your lighter in the box and at the next airport, pick out a new one from a box when you leave. Think of all the cool new lighters you can experience! Plus all of the germs that can get passed!


I don't know where the financial gain comes from though. I also have a problem making smokers' smoking lives easier. How about this: I'll set this thing up if you agree to restaraunt and bar smoking bans? Or better yet, I won't jam that thing into your eye when you light up next to me and I'm trying to talk to someone.


You know, for an idea man, I can be very hostile.
