The White Lighter Myth

A PG13 Language Warning Today
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You have to love what is findable on the internet - such as the myth that Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison and Corbain all were found with a white Bic lighter in their pockets after death. And, that therefore White Bic Lighters are bad luck...... hmmm. The full story for this fun BS can be found here - Urban Dictionary... but, IF one digs a bit further into the folklore you find logic about such a White Lighter myth such as this:
Time to expose the origins of this myth. Back in 1973, when the first Bic disposable lighter was introduced, it was only available in two colors. Black and White. Back then the entire lighter was one solid color, unlike today where no matter the color of the lighter, the bottom is white. So whenusing a black lighter to smoke pot, the ash frompacking the bowl down would not be visible. Unlike the white lighter that would show"evidence of illicit drug use"(that's the excuse the cops would use to detain you). Nowadays all lighters have a white bottom piece, so no one color should be considered bad luck.
