:)) 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. 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…
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!

Hmm, couldn’t find the lighters, but look at that service: screenshot
@Dietmar ROTFLMBO!
… once again, you’ve made my day
Dietmar, wirklich schöne Fotos hast Du da! Ich frag mich gerade nur, ob ich noch all meine Tassen beisammen habe…
Great catch, Dietmar. That’s too funny.
Well, in Spain we have a funerary called “La alegría de vivir” (The joy of living)
pretty funny stuff.
