Just had this emailed to me. anyone know the answer?
The ship was sinking fast and four sailors were able to get a
liferaft into the water and climb into it safely.
They decided to have a cigarette and relax a few moments before
starting their journey to safety. The cigarettes were dry, but
all their matches were wet and they had no way to light their
cigarettes.
Finally, one of the sailors came up with a solution. He threw a
cigarette overboard.
This worked well. They were able to smoke, because ...........?

They got arrested for littering, and the police provided them with a lighter?

Many thanks, have a karma! What the lifeboat had become a cigarette lighter. What exactly were these sailors smoking again, no wonder the ship was sinking fast ;D |

PCW-the answer is the liferaft became a cigarette lighter. In other words he threw the cigarette overboard and the raft became a cigarette lighter. Get it?It's a play on words.  |
