-So then I keep the jar in a dark place, right?
-Sure.
-And when it’s all done, I need to dispose of the ritual remains.
-That’s it. You got it.
-And then I cleanse myself and my target.
-You– wait, what? Why in the everloving hell would you cleanse your target?
-I saw it on Pinterest.
-Oh for God’s sake.
I know it’s too easy and not sportsmanlike and all, and I really try not to reach for the low-hanging fruit *all* the time, for real. But sometimes you just run into stuff **and you have to say something** or you’ll actually **bust.**

Or how about the proud declaration of some energetic young entrepreneur:
– After I finish blending my oils, they are charged under a full moon before being sent to you.
– All of ’em, huh? Every formula you make is ‘charged under a full moon’?
– Uh-huh!
-Your Road Opener and your Crossing and your Get a Job and your Hot Foot and your Cancer Zodiac oils, all ‘charged under a full moon’?
-Uh-huh!
-Uh-huh. Well then, that’s certainly something.
