Even though I am not a smoker, I like very much the built-in cigarette lighters that come in most cars. I like pushing the button in and waiting for it to pop out as the coils inside electrically heat up. I then pull the cigarette lighter out and look at how the heating element glows red. I then continue to stare at it until the red fades away. I almost had a car accident doing this once. I really need to pay more attention to the road when I am staring at the cigarette lighter.
I wonder why computer companies have not thought about installing these cigarette lighters into monitors of computers. A monitor company would do well to feature a monitor with a built-in cigarette lighter such as those that are found in most cars as many smokers will smoke while operating their computers.
If anybody out there decides to do this, please cut me in on a share of the profits as I am the one who thought this up. Thank you and good day.

And if you accidentally drop the stupid thing, worry about finding it before it can set all the litter at your feet on fire. There oughtta be a lighter where you just poke in the cigarette or cigar and the element is not removable during use.

Between that and the retracting cup holder labeled Drive D: you may have a winner.
