“That is horrifying and I want to go home,” I said, although I pronounced it, “Ah. I see.”

I pulled out my lighter and flicked my wrist to snap it open and light the flame in one motion. (If you do it right, it looks very suave. I used to practice it for hours as a teenager, in hopes of impressing girls.)
