I remember when we used matches!
But they weren't for use in close quarters.
I was at a concert at the Red Rail, a cool club in upstate NY. Early 80's
Guy standing beside me, near the back of the club, struck a paper match to light a joint.
The sulfur on the match head flew off and landed in the afro of the guy sitting in a folding chair in front of us...The afro caught on fire!
Luckily cool heads prevailed, and between the three of us, we put the fire out, with no hard feelings....
