When I was a young Craftsman in Australiaand a non-smoker (never been one...) one of our Sergeants used to smoke and would always have a pack of cigs on his bench so I stuck a couple of sticks of cordite down into the end of one of his cigs! An hour or so later he lit it and was puffing away quite happily until the tip ignited the cordite and started to burn swiftly down towards his lips! Great fun and shrieks of laughter. Been doing it regularly ever since! The simple things please simple minds........ But don't try this at home of course!
