Dear Zippo,
I was thinking of getting a friend of mine, Anthony Imperioli, a Zippo. I don’t know if he smokes or not, but since he’s Canadian I figured he would start if I got him a cool enough lighter. They have nationalized healthcare in Canada so if he got a smoker’s cough or black lung or cancer or something it really wouldn’t be that expensive for him to get the very best medical care. I know if I were Canadian I’d be a smoker!
The Zippo “Xray” looks like the perfect lighter to get get Anthony, but when I looked into it I found they are € 42,95! I have no idea what that is in real money. It looks like a lot, but then currency is a tricky thing. A million pesos really isn’t that much money (or so I have been told). So € 42,95 could really be only a few bucks as far as I know.
I wanted the lighter shipped to Canada, but see no way to do that. I am in the US. You are in Germany. Anthony is in Canada. If I could figure this out I’d be striking a blow for globalization! Can you help?
Sincerely,
Christopher L. Jorgensen
