An engineer, a chemist, and a linguist are in a boat... They've been lost at sea for 3 months. Rations have been entirely exhausted and all they have left is a cigarette for each of them, but they've used all of their matches. The engineer begins rubbing two pieces of driftwood together, vainly attempting to create a small flame, but with no luck. The chemist looks through the medical supplies, hoping he can combine things to make a strong enough exothermic reaction to make a fire. Suddenly, the linguist throws her cigarette overboard. The engineer and chemist stand there in shock for a moment, before the chemist asks why she would do such a thing. The linguist responded, ""Now the whole boat is a cigarette lighter.""
