Maines news today.

AUGUSTA — Gov. John Baldacci will sign into law today a measure that prohibits the retail sale and distribution of novelty lighters.

The bill defines a novelty lighter as something that is “designed to appear to be a toy, feature a flashing light or make musical sounds.”

Baldacci is scheduled to sign the bill at 12:30 p.m. today in his office.


Bout time.

Huh? Do they not work right? Are tiny Mainers too dumb to be taught that it's not a toy?

Many big Mainers too, I'm guessing.

Clearly this is someone who hasn't been to either Patton or Dexter, Maine.

You know, if you get up there in the rural north, there are very small settlements called Plantations with like 100 or so people and there are Plantations where there are only two last names.

It's inbreeding. Clearly, generations of inbreeding results in young people not being able to operate novelty lighters.

Good thing for me, my family tended to marry people from away.

When I was 15, I went on a Boy Scout trip to Greece. While there, one of the other kids (age 13) bought one of those lighters shaped like a hand grenade.

Of course, he put it in his carry-on baggage. When the x-ray caught it, his choice was to either throw it away, or package it and mail it home.

Ah, the innocent days of 1998. Smiley: laugh
