Do the reverse thumb squeeze opening, use the middle to grab the bottom corner and spin the lighter around
so you’re holding the body between middle and thumb, and the tip of the index is on the flintwheel;
palm should be facing upwards.
Then smack the bottom with the non-dominant hand – this will light the lighter – but take your sweet
time getting it to rotate upwards.
Close by whipping your non-dominant hand up and whacking the cap shut.
Now, I thought this was the stupidest trick in the world, and Booty’s comment while we were sitting
in the Zippo tent in the schizophrenic Deauville weather was “that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen”.
Since we were in agreement, I just did the trick over and over, because I don’t speak French, so I was
in no danger of embarrassing myself - the natives already thought I was an idiot. Strangely enough,
this dumbass trick got a bit of attention. I was amazed. Booty said “Well, y’know, sometimes the
stupidest shit will amaze people”. So I submit for your approval, said crap.
