Just as a question, how many of you out there in the 
FFL audience still, to this day, light a stick of 
incense and then, to blow it out, either wave the
stick in the air or wave your hand over it, to create
a breeze that blows out the flame?

I caught myself doing this tonight.

Immediately thereafter, I caught myself thinking, 
"WHY the fuck am I doing this? Does it really 
MATTER whether I blow this stick of incense out 
by waving my paw at it, Dogbert-like, or whether 
I blow it out with my human -- and thus so-much-
lower-than-incense-deserves -- breath?"

I was unable to come up with a satisfactory answer. 
So I pass it along to you in the FFL 'verse: DOES 
it make any difference at all whether we blow out 
a stick of incense by waving at it with our hands 
or blowing it out with our own breath?

I don't actually expect anyone to answer, but I do
suggest that the answers might have been interesting
if anyone were interested in questioning the things
we never question...
