Candles Mask Bad Hygiene

I don’t feel so good when I’m in one of those homes where people light all those smelly candles. You know the kinds I mean: Autumn Fog, Evening Sagebrush, Ocean Flotsam. That kind of thing. I always wonder what they’re hiding. Besides, think about it. Back in the Dark Ages everybody used nothing but candles. You want your home to smell like the Dark Ages?

I reach for a cigarette, I cross the street, I run into the movies or a bar, I buy a drink, I speak to the nearest stranger - anything that can blow your candles out!

I say, blow the stupid candles out, turn on a couple of electric lamps, and look around to see what it is that’s making your home smell so rotten in the first place.
