I don't know what question popped up for the cashier but she muttered under here breath 'Yeah, like he's going to use them in a shotgun'. You certainly wouldn't want children to buy matches. They might do something stupid like cut the heads off 'strike-anywhere' matches and stuff them into an empty CO2 canister. I haven't bought matches in a long time but I think 'strike-anywhere' has been replaced by 'strike-nowhere' anyway. What fun is it if you can't ignite a kitchen match with your thumbnail and get a few burning bits stuck under the nail?
