Varför kan Stan Laurel använda sin tumme som en tändare i Way Out West?

TV Tropes - Finger Snap Lighter :

Done by Laurel and Hardy in Way Out West (1937; probably the Trope Maker).

  • Stan ignites his thumb as if it were a cigarette lighter several times; each time, Ollie stares in disbelief and tries to copy him. And eventually it works for Ollie, who reacts with horrified alarm.
