I have a funny joke about that from back when I lived in Florida and was in my eary 20s.

Every late spring/early summer in Fort Walton Beach, Florida (about 10 miles from my home in Destin), they have a festival called the Billy Bowleg's Festival and it lasts about a month with various events. There is a boat parade where all the locals get on their boats and congregate in a formation to follow a pirate ship which "blows up" a fake fort simulating the arrival of the pirate ship, with a local business man or politician dressed up like Captain Billy Bowlegs on it, and the mayor surrenders and gives Captain B the key to the city. It's kind of a big deal down there and there are a lot of fun events going on.

Anyway, I had a friend who had a house on the intracoastal waterway underneath the Brooks Bridge and we had a pretty big party to watch the boat parade. There was this one guy, Jimmy, who was wearing bicycle shorts that were super skin tight. This was the 1980s and nobody wore bicycling shorts back then, only board shorts, and probably not that many cyclists there now, either. The people I hung out with were beach goers, surfers, fishermen, etc. and their girlfriends and wives. So my buddy Scott kept asking Jimmy if he could borrow his Bic lighter. Jimmy had a really confused look on his face and said, "Dude, I don't have a lighter." And Scott would chuckle, wait awhile, and then ask him again. "Dude, I don't have a lighter, I don't even have pockets!" He really didn't get what Scott was insinuating, I guess it might have been a size comparison thing as well, LOL!
