Matches

I love the way it smells right after you strike a match.

I once worked with a guy who said that the way to cure hiccups is to light a match and put it in a glass of water. I always assumed that he was just screwing with people that he didn't like by telling them that. One day I asked him about it, and he said that it was completely serious. Supposedly the sulfur from the match does something to make your diaphragm stop having spasms. I still don't know how true that is, but I always think of that when I have hiccups or light matches.
