    I’d feel so creeped out if I had to light up with either of those lighters! I’m really glad I don’t smoke!

    :)) Thanks for the link! Also - The Žale Cemetary lighters have this anti-smoking theme for the third year running. They also feature slogans “Prižigate? Tudi mi prižigamo z njimi…” (Do you light it up? We do too..) and “Če kadite, k nam hitite” (If go on smoking, you’ll end up with us)

    And to top everythingm, these lighters were a part of Žale’s new year press kit :)

    Uhm, it’s just that the translation for the Žale lighter is not 100% right. The last “kar” is not “because”, the sort of exact translation would go something like “Just keep on doing it, just keep on..” I know it’s nit-picking but still :)

    otherwise-i love your blog, it makes my days :)

    I love such sense of humor. :D Does anyone know if they sell those Žale lighters in regular shops? I’d like to buy a few specimens for some people. ;)

    jep, the jellow one reminded me of a linguistically interesting discussion about weight control, even before I had seen the link to Pengovski ;-)

    But it’s only a question of time. From a certain point of view: before you end as an old person being treated at Maribor hospital, you might prefer smoking - at least I think none of the customers at Žale has ever complaint… :-D

    Great catch, Dietmar. That’s too funny.

    Well, in Spain we have a funerary called “La alegría de vivir” (The joy of living)
