| Eeeew...
I don't like the smell of incense either.
Put it out, soak in water, open all windows.
If that doesn't help: Leave house and do not get back for a few hours (go fence?).

| I hate the smell of incense as well - much to the annoyance of the Widow. She is always burning this foul stuff. I usually walk in (following Fencing) ...
Me, "What is that smell?"
Widow, "Incense"
Me, "It smells like burning tyres."
Widow, "It's Lemon scented."
Me, "Don't talk rubbish. It smells like burning tyres."
Widow, "Phillistine."
Me, "You are a marketing man's dreams - I'm off to air my kit in an attempt to replace that odour with something more manly."
Widow, "Eek! No you are NOT."
etc etc | |

| Yes, airing your kit definitely sounds like something to be done in private... | |

| Take the incense between the thumb and the forefinger of the right hand. Place the left hand vertical and perpendicular to the burning incense. Press the burning incense into the palm of the left hand and twirl incense until the cinder goes out. While this is happening, scream "I will never burn incense again, I will never burn incense again." This should cure two problems.

| Ignoring the question of why you were burning incense if you hate the smell of incense, all I can suggest is . . .
. . . buy better incense!
We used to burn that stick stuff back in the '60's, and it can indeed be vile. They still sell it, and sometimes I smell it wafting from a booth at my University's quarterly vendor fair. However, since the '60's, I've been spoiled by weekly exposure to the good stuff.
Try buying some incense from a church supplier (Roman Catholics, some Anglicans, and Eastern Orthodox all use it). It's much better than the stick kind. It comes in coarse granules and you'll need to get a little metal or ceramic pot to burn it in.

But some of us were just trying to be cool and all mystical and stuff. I definitely remember the '60's. Maybe I'm older than you, BrianH--or maybe you just got wasted more often than I did. (If you got wasted once, it was more often than I did.)

I imagine you preferred Ravi Shankar and the Maharishi and TM and such? We each searched for enlightenment in our own way. BTW, I graduated college in '69. An interesting time. | |
