Child proof lighters are the worst things ever made, sure they save lots of homes from being burnt down, but they make me feel like a complete moron. Not to mention the sore thumbs.

Stupid interview that relates:

Yeah. I know so. I mean, way, way back when I started, one of the first things I did with a politician was with Preston Manning and I went up to him and I had a child proof lighter at the time it was the week they were introduced in Canada and a lot of people, especially smokers were talking about these child proof lighters. And I went to a scrum and Preston Manning was there and I didnt have anything to ask him.

It was a really hypothetical far-fetched question and he didnt know who I was back then either. And I said you want to be our Prime Minister, and we were on a desert island would you lead us? And he said yes I would lead you. And I said would you light the fire? And he said oh, of course Ill light the fire. And I said can you use the child proof lighter? He said I guess. And then he started to light it - and the people around him, even the Reform people at the time, were getting a little hysterical. They were saying its rigged! Its rigged! And it wasnt it was a child proof lighter.
