A worker at the Zippo factory is showing their boss how the new machine works.
Suddenly, the lights go out. Wanting to finish the demonstration quickly, they try to continue with only the emergency lighting.
“The lights are too dim, I can’t see what you’re doing” the boss complains.
“I have an idea”, says the worker. “Let’s turn the machine on. ”
The boss, frustrated, asks how that could possibly help.
“It’ll make us a little lighter”
