I want to talk to you tonight about the fragrance of Jesus, the fragrance of Jesus, and then we're going to have an hour of intercession. We have a lot of things to pray about. This is a prayer meeting.

I won't preach long, but I've got something in my heart, and I didn't know that our speaker would not be coming, but God had been preparing my heart, and I told Pastor Don, when he asked what we should do, I said, I feel like I should serve this, the Lord had already prepared it in my heart.

The fragrance of Christ. Lord Jesus, I thank you for the simple little word that you put on my heart tonight. I don't know why you put this in my heart. There may be somebody coming in tonight that needed it.

There may be many that need it. I know I need it. Lord Jesus, I want to know you as my fragrance. I want to know you, Lord, as the sweetness of my life. Lord, open our minds. Open our hearts. Let us hear from Holy Spirit anointment tonight.

Lord, I feel so confident that you're trying to say something special to all of our hearts. So simple and yet profound. So simple that it is profound, and it opens up our hearts to you in a special way.

We'll see you a little differently. We'll see you in a different light tonight than perhaps we've seen you ever. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. Now, just leave your Bible open to Song of Solomon, the second chapter, and I'll be coming to that in just a moment.

J. B. Stoney’s Devotion to Christ

One of my favorite writers is J .B. Stoney. He died in 1897. He's a great man of God. I've got 11 volumes of his writings, 11 books, most of them 400 pages thick, all on Jesus, the headship of Jesus. Some of the greatest revelations of Jesus I've ever heard.

J .B. Stoney was born and raised in a wealthy home, and he studied to be a lawyer. In fact, he passed the law exam. In fact, he was at the bar in England, the legal bar. And they said of him, because he was so intelligent, graduated with honors, wealthy home, everything.

In fact, they had said about him he had the world at his feet. But he went to a meeting, gave his heart to Jesus, and he was so stricken by the power of the word, he gave up his law practice, he gave up his money, he gave up everything to give his whole life to the study of the gospel and to teach it.

And he spent years ministering to Christ all over the world. Here in America, there was an Englishman who ministered here. In 1897, now that's over 110 years ago, 108 years ago, J .B. Stoney spent his last week bed fast, and his wife had died, and his daughter ministered to him in his dying days.

And in his last week, this man so lived with Jesus, he had visions and revelations of the beauty of Christ. And in fact, he told his daughter, he said, daughter, we can't fully attain to Christ until we completely cut the world away.

He began to see, in his dying day, he had wished that he had cut even more than he had cut so much. He said, I could have gone so much deeper in Christ if I had cut, absolutely cut, everything from the world.

And with him, that meant just some of the ordinary things that you and I take for granted. But this man, this righteous God, in effect, I don't think anyone has affected my life, any writer has affected my life more than J .B. Stoney.

Resting Under the Shadow of Christ

And his dying words were taken from Song of Solomon, the second chapter, and the third verse. His dying words were, I sat down under his shadow with great delight. I read the whole verse. Song of Solomon 2 .3.

As the apple tree among the trees in the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. Let's start reading the first verse.

I am the rose of Sharon, the lily of the valleys. As the lily among the thorns, so is my love among the daughters. This is Jesus speaking of his bride in type. And then the bride answers, as the apple tree among the trees in the wood, so is my beloved among the sons.

I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. Here's a man with his dying words, saying, I spent my lifetime, he's looking back over his life, and he said, I sat down under my master's shadow with great delight.

I sat down under his shadow with great delight. When I was reading these words, I was in my study just a few nights ago when this hit me. And I was getting ready to pray, but there was some tension in my heart.

I was thinking of all the burdens of prayer. I'm thinking about a brother in this church who's got a legal suit. He's having a fight. Someone's trying to take his business from him, and he's in this battle.

I wanted to pray for him. I was praying for a young wife in this church who's in a legal struggle because a madman, a friend, a husband, is trying to interfere with her life and her daughter and her debt burden of prayer.

I was thinking of finances. I was thinking of all the problems that so many people have with unemployment. I was praying, oh God, I need a message for Sunday night. I wept that morning. I was praying, and there was, I felt uptight.

I felt, I've got to get into God. I've got to press in. And I was pushing. I was striving, and I read the words of that man. In fact, I had just finished reading his dying words, and they cut like a knife.

It was like a sword in my heart. And I heard the Holy Spirit whisper to me, David, where is your delight? You're sitting down under my shadow. That's the secret closet, but you're not delighting. You're making prayer such a burden.

You're making it, you're so uptight in my presence. Where is your delight in my presence? And, boy, I began to read this. It drove me to, I got my concords out and found out where he picked this up from.

And when I picked it up, and I read these words as the apple tree among the trees of the wood. The apple tree in Hebrew means a wafted fragrance. A wafted. The wind picks it up and carries it out of the garden, so to speak.

When I was a young boy, in Barnsboro, Pennsylvania, growing up, just as a child, we had two big apple trees in our backyard. Huge apple trees. We claimed them. If there were two special times of the year, the apple blossoms filled the whole house.

The wind would blow in the house, the whole house was filled with the smell, the wonderful aroma, the fragrance of the apple blossoms. And then when the apples came, another kind of fragrance. When they fell to the ground, there was a fragrance.

Even in the water, there was a fragrance. The apple tree speaks in the Word of God as a wafted fragrance. My beloved, my Lord, my Jesus is to me as a wafted fragrance in my garden. There's a sweetness, there's an aroma about him.

And, you see, it hit me then. I've known him as a provider. I've known him as my strength, my shield, my focus, my Lord and Savior, my hope, my healer, my baptizer, my coming King, my eternal life. And I got to thinking of all the ways I've known Jesus, all the ways I've preached him, all the ways I've heard him preached.

But I didn't know him as my fragrance. I'd never really heard it or understood it until this moment. Here's a man who spent his whole life saying, Jesus has been my fragrance. And I sat down consuming that fragrance with great delight.

The Bride Coming Out of the Wilderness

And it changed me. It changed me. The fragrance of Jesus changed me. Look at chapter 3, verse 6. Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, and with all powders of the merchant?

Look at me, please. Here's the picture. Solomon is a type of Christ in the Song of Solomon. The bride, the Shunammite woman, is a type of the bride. That's you and I who serve the Lord. And here's a picture of Solomon sending his gondola, a beautiful gondola that's carried by probably four men, and there's 60 guardsmen of the royal palace of the king's own personal guards sent to bring this woman out of the wilderness.

Folks, where have we been? We're in a wilderness. This world is a wilderness, the scripture says. And here comes the bride. He sends for his bride, and she comes, and the picture is, who is this that's coming out of the wilderness?

Read it again. Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, and with all powders of the merchant? Behold his bed. That's his gondola, which is Solomon's.

Three scowled valiant men are about it at the valiant of Israel. They all hold their swords, being expert in war. Every man with his sword upon his thigh because of fear of the night. See, this is the angel of the Lord.

This is the army of the Lord. This is what Eli just saw, this great army on horseback that nobody could see but those who walked in the Spirit. Who is this coming out of the wilderness? This bride. And look at the smoke.

Look at the aroma. You can smell the sweet savor fall off before she even comes. She's dripping in myrrh. She's dripping in frankincense. There's an odor, a beautiful, sweet-smelling odor, this bride that's coming.

The king is sent for her out of the wilderness, and she's coming toward the king. And she's dripping. She's dripping. She has imbibed this fragrance because she has been meeting secretly on the hill or the mountain of myrrh.

She's been meeting in his presence secretly on a mountaintop. In fact, I want you to see it here in chapter 4, verse 6. Chapter 4. Until the day breaks, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of frankincense.

Thou art all fair, my love. There's no spot in thee. See what's happened? This bride's been secretly meeting with the bridegroom. She's been on this mountain of myrrh. And there's such a fragrance about this bridegroom.

There's such a fragrance about this man of hers, this love of hers. She's spent so much time in his presence secretly that she has taken on his fragrance. She has taken on his aroma. She has taken it into her lungs and her body.

She is dripping with it. She's covered with the aroma of him who is, the Bible says, is just covered with frankincense. I don't know. I'm an old spice man, you know. All these fancy perfumes that men wear, I don't relate to that.

Plain old spice. But even with old spice, if I put enough on it, on me, have I spat it on, my wife can be around me five minutes, go around, and she's old spice. The same aroma, it takes on. You take on the frankincense of the beloved.

And this is what happened. And she's coming out of the wilderness in Solomon's gondola, protected by the army of the king, and she's just covered with this. Until the daybreak, the shadows flee. She spent all night, secretly, in beautiful converse, speaking to her lover.

Other speaks of the secret closet. You know, it's impossible for you and I to go to the secret closet without coming out with his aroma. It's impossible to spend time with Jesus without becoming like him.

And all the beauty and the graces of Jesus are showing forth in us. I can tell when a man or woman is praying. You can see there's an aroma, there's something about them. There's a Holy Ghost dignity.

Jesus as Warrior, High Priest, and Deliverer

There's something about people who spend time with Jesus. They reflect what he is, and who he is. His fragrance had come to her. She's filled with the aroma of the king. Now, you know, see, we love to be referred to as soldiers of the cross.

In fact, the Bible does refer to us as soldiers. In fact, we put on the whole armor of God. We have the sword in our hand. We have the shield. He's the captain of his mighty army. We sing about the army of the Lord.

And we love Revelation 19. Don't tell me, but I'll just read it to you. Revelation 19, 11. We just... I love it too, because I see Jesus and that great white horse. And I want to be in that white cavalry that comes marching back.

And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and a Righteousness that judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns.

There was a name written that no man knew but he himself, who was clothed with the vesture dipped in blood, and his name was called the Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

I believe I'm in that army. I believe we're in that army. White horses, clothed in white linen. And here he is, captain of the horse of Israel. Yes, I love that picture. It's a good picture, it's true.

But that's as far as some people want to go. They're just like the war mode. They want to be soldiers. They want Jesus to come down and fight every enemy. And that's true, that's wonderful. He is all of that, but he's more.

We love to see him as our high priest. We know he's touched with the feelings of our infirmities. We know that our high priest is seated on the throne and he says, come boldly into my presence, approach my throne with boldness that you may see grace and mercy to help in the time of need.

Isn't it wonderful to sit here tonight and know him as a high priest who's touched with the feelings of our infirmities? That you can go to him with all your problems and your burdens, you can cry and you can weep and you can leave his presence knowing that he's heard you.

It's wonderful to come into his presence boldly. And I thank God for my king on a white horse. I thank him for being a high priest to me who's touched with the feelings of my infirmities. He's all of that, but he's still more.

I thank God that I know him as my deliverer from sin and Satan. I know I can go to the table of the Lord. We go every week to the table of the Lord here to celebrate the deliverance of our blessed Lord for us from sin and its dominion.

And we have a deliverer we can go to and say, Lord, save me and save my household. We've got a mighty deliverer whose arm is not short and his ear is not heavy who cannot hear. And he says, call upon me in the day of trouble.

And I thank God he's a deliverer. I thank God he knows what I need before I ask him. Yes, he's my king. He's my priest. He's my deliverer. He's all of that, but he's more. He's my fragrance. And I'm afraid I've not known him that way.

I have not seen him as my fragrance. And yet I'm discovering now that almost every man of God who's gone before me, who walks so close to the Lord always mention the fragrance, the Puritans and all those.

The Fragrance of the Tabernacle

You'll hear them talk about the sweetness and the fragrance of Jesus before they died. They always spoke of it. Now, keep in mind, please, that Jesus was a fragrance to his Father. He was a sweet-smelling savor, the Scripture says.

Go to Exodus. Exodus 29. Exodus 29. I hope you've marked. Sorry, Solomon. We're going to come back to that. But go to Exodus, please. I want to show you something in the Old Testament the Lord blessed in my heart.

Exodus 29. And we'll start reading at verse 15. Exodus 29, beginning at verse 15. Thou shalt also take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram. And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his blood and sprinkle it round about upon the altar.

And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces and wash the inwards of him and his legs and put them into his pieces unto his head. And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar. It is a burnt offering unto the Lord.

It is a what? Sweet savor. Sweet fragrance, in other words. An offering made by fire unto the Lord. Now, listen. Look at this way, please. Let me set something for you in your mind. You know the Old Testament tabernacle, don't you?

It was a type of Christ. It was a wilderness tabernacle. Moses thought all the directions on how to build it on the mountain on Mount Sinai. And in that tabernacle in the holy place was an altar of incense.

And there was perpetual incense that was burned. I want you to see that in Exodus 30. Go to Exodus 30, verse 1. And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense that's fragrance, incense upon of cinnamon wood shalt thou make it.

Look at verse 6 to 8 now. Verse 6. And thou shalt put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony before the mercy seat that is over the testimony where I will meet with thee. And Aaron shalt burn therein sweet incense every morning when he dresseth the lamps he shalt burn incense upon it.

When Aaron lighteth the lamps it even he shalt burn incense upon it a perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generation. Folks, look at me please. It was impossible to walk in the holy place without being absolutely overwhelmed with fragrance.

I mean it just covered you could walk in and walk out without being covered with fragrance. You had to inhale it everywhere the aroma of fragrance because that perpetual incense was being burned on that incense altar.

Not only that everything that was holy in that place everything was sprinkled with a holy sweet oil a fragrant oil. Look at chapter 30 verse 22 beginning to read. Now over the Lord spake unto Moses saying Take thou also unto thee principal spices and pure myrrh five hundred shekels and sweet cinnamon half as much even two hundred and fifty shekels and sweet thymus two hundred and fifty shekels and acacia five hundred shekels after the shekel the sanctuary and oil olive of hymn that shall make it a holy oil an oil of holy ointment an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary it shall be a holy anointing oil.

Now folks this oil was mixed with all kinds of fragrances the best fragrances known to mankind they were put in the uh almost it's a apothecary the drugist the mixer let them put it in the pestle and mix it all together and then when they mix all these beautiful frankincense and myrrh spices when they mix it all and then pour oil in it make a mixture.

It was a sweet smelling oil. Verse twenty six. And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle the congregation therewith and the ark of the testament and the table and all his vessels and the candlestick his vessels and the altar of incense and the altar burned off with all his vessels and the laver and his foot or the stand in part which the laver stood.

Look at me please. Here's the picture. They took this oil and they sprinkled it on everything. They sprinkled it on the altar of sacrifice. They sprinkled it on the laver. They sprinkled it in the holy place.

They sprinkled it on all the coverings and all the priest robes the garments the vessels everything had to emit this fragrance. Everything had to be touched with this fragrance. Now beloved my mother one of the priests of the gospel used to teach from the old tabernacle.

She used to have a little model and she'd tell us what everything meant. This represents this. And this represents all pointed to Christ. But I have never. I have to confess to you I have never understood the types and shadows of the tabernacle because most theologians have different ideas of what each piece of furniture represented and how it could be applied in the applications.

The applications have been so many and varied. You can't you can't possibly understand it all. But one thing I do know and one thing I do understand. You couldn't go near that tabernacle without being impressed with fragrance.

I mean the very walls emitted fragrance. You walked to the altar and that bloody sacrifice. It was sprayed it was anointed with oil. There was a fragrance that came out of that. The very sacrifice was mixed with was spoken with the oil.

There was an odor coming out when the fire came out. The fire emitted a fragrance. You would go then to the laver. And it had been sprayed with a fragrance anointed with a fragrance. The priest everywhere he went everything on him was fragrant.

You go to the holy place. Even the bread had that anointed oil sprayed over it. And the candlestick had this anointed oil. And the incense was burning constantly perpetually with this fragrance. Going up fragrance everywhere.

Service as a Sweet and Restful Offering

You know what the Lord is saying. He was making a statement and I don't think we fully understand it. He was making a wonderful statement. All service all sacrifice all communion with me ought to be sweet and delightful and restful.

It should not be boring. It should not be arduous. It should not be burdensome. It should not be worrisome. It should be like an apple tree with the fragrance. All should not be boring. All should not be burdensome.

It should be sitting down with delight under the apple tree and the fragrance of it blessing your soul. Worship ministry instruments. Sunday school going to church giving. It should be filled with fragrance.

It should be something we enjoy. It should be something that fills our lungs with sweetness. Serving Jesus in any capacity if it has become boring or laborious if it's worrisome to you. You have not known Jesus as fragrance.

And I said in my study and I got to thinking of all the times I've gone in and said well I've got to force myself to pray. I've got to somehow give in to the presence of God. And I push and I strive. And the Lord says now you sit down under the apple tree and you begin to drink in the fragrance.

Rest in my presence. You don't have to force your way to the throne of God. Come boldly to the throne of grace. I'm your fragrance. I'm not a mask that stands over you with a whip. I'm your perfume. I'm your fragrance.

Hallelujah. You know God looked down at his son and he was a sweet smelling fragrance. The cross the sacrifice. There was not a moment Jesus hung on that cross that he wasn't a sweet odor to his father.

He was fragrance he was. He rested in what his son did. You know when he came out of the water. What did the father say of his son. This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. And in Greek it says in whom I delight.

This is my son in whom I delight. He's a delight to me. He's a joy to my heart. I've got four children that are delight to me. I've got eight grandchildren that are delight to me. I love to take them in my hands.

I don't like it when I come into their.

Presence. Or they come into my presence and they're uptight and they're so busy they don't have time to just sit down and enjoy my fellowship. I want them to come into my presence with ease. I want them to come to me as a father and grandfather who loves them who reaches out yearning for their fellowship.

Hallelujah. And that's what the Lord wants. He wants you to come into his presence. God mentioned it so well in Matthew 15 that prayer should not be hard work. It should not be hard work. The only hard thing about it is bringing ourselves to a place of rest bringing ourselves to a place of trust.

The reason we get uptight about the service of God. We try to do it in the flesh. We try to look for some special feeling to hit us. And we don't come by faith. We come by feeling. If we feel down and blue or dirty or filthy or like we failed the Lord we're not at ease.

Then we should just go and say Jesus I failed. You forgive me. I love you and let the fragrance begin to flood your soul. Paul Ephesians 5 2 says. Christ hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice a sweet smelling savour.

He's given himself a sacrifice and to the father he's a sweet smelling fragrance. Hallelujah. Now Paul tells us that everything we do for him are to ourselves. We should be the fragrance of Jesus. I want you to turn to Philippians.

Christian Giving as the Fragrance of Christ

Philippians 4. I want to show you one little verse that really touched my heart when I read it this week. Philippians 4 chapter verse. Begin to read verse 16. This is Paul speaking Mr. Walker anybody beginning to smell the fragrance.

Verse 16. And even in Thessalonica you said once and again to my necessity. Not because I desire gift but I desire fruit that may abound to your count. But I have all and I abound. I am full having received having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you an odor of a sweet smell a sacrifice acceptable while pleasing to God.

You know what Paul is saying. He is writing to these believers. And he said what you have done for me has the odor of Christ about it. I see Jesus in what you have done. You have done it from the heart of such love.

It reflects the very love of Jesus the kind of love he would have shown me. You have shown me the very heart of Jesus. He said what you did for me in ministering to my need has the sweet fragrance of Jesus to it.

Oh that that could be said of us. That could be said of me. What you did for me pastor what you preached to me that you loved me enough. There was an odor of Christ. There was the sweet smelling fragrance of Jesus that came through.

Epaphroditus and Selfless Christian Character

It wasn't flesh. It was Christ that came. I detect I smell Christ in this. I see and feel and experience the fragrance of Jesus in what you did. I want to in Philippians the second chapter. Turn back the second chapter.

I want to show you this in very clear very clear picture of what it means to reflect the fragrance of Jesus to be so full of Jesus that that fragrance is detected by others all around you. He talked about Epaphroditus verse 24 Philippians 2.

Oh this is a beautiful picture. It's incredible what you see here verse 24. But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly that I suppose it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my spirit my brother and companion and neighbor and fellow soldier that your messenger and he that ministered to my wants.

Remember Paul said what you've done Epaphroditus. I smell the fragrance in it. Here's a man Epaphroditus was just full of the fragrance of Jesus. Look at it now verse 26. For he longed after you all and was full of heaviness because that you had heard that he had been sick.

For indeed he was sick nigh unto death. But God had mercy on him and not on him only but on me also lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. I send him therefore the more careful that when you see him again you may rejoice that I may be the less sorrowful.

This is the end of side one. You may now turn the tape over to side two. Here's Epaphroditus. Yeah Epaphroditus. And he's been sick. Now when I get sick I want to be people. In fact I complained the other day a couple weeks ago to my wife just a little complaint.

I said honey scratch my back. There's something I'm feeling bad and I just wanted some attention. I said honey I just want to lay my head in your lap and just pat my head. Anything. I was feeling sorry for myself.

You know men are babies. The wife can get sick and she's half. She's full of fever and dragging around and she's doing her cooking and she's cleaning and cooking and everything else. And he's standing around and said shouldn't you lay down.

Well dummy why don't you help her. But a man gets sick groans and groans. But here's a man he's been sick. He finds out he said he longed after you all and he's full of heaviness. His soul is troubled because he said they've heard that I'm sick and it's troubled their hearts.

He said I've got to get down there and show them that I'm all right. He's concerned about them. He's the one that was sick. But he's saying he's telling Paul they're troubled. They shouldn't be troubled.

They have a heaviness for me because I was sick and I don't want them to feel heavy. I don't want them to feel that burden. I don't want them to carry that burden. I've got to get to them quickly and let them know I'm okay.

Fine. What a what a fragrance of Jesus. He's not looking for pity. Isn't that something. No he says he longed after you. He longed after you all. He was full of heaviness because you heard that he'd been sick.

He said Paul my heart's heavy. They've heard that I've been sick and they're grieving for me and I don't want them to carry that burden. He said I want to go down and show them that I'm all right. Boy that's a fragrance of Jesus.

I don't know if I can ever get there boy I'd sure.

The Garden of Frankincense and the Spirit’s Work

I'd love to have that kind of fragrance of Jesus come from me. Well what about. Song of Solomon fourth chapter. Song of Solomon. Go back to Song of Solomon the fourth chapter and look at verse twelve.

Begin to read. At verse twelve. Let us get up early to the vineyards and let us see if the vine flourish whether the tender grape appear and the pomegranates bud forth. There. Will I give thee my loves.

Am I reading. No. I'm sorry I'm wrong. Chapter four. I want chapter four. Verse twelve. Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates and pleasant fruits. Camphor and spikenard. Look. Verse fifteen. Well verse fourteen.

Spikenard and saffron calamus and cinnamon. With all trees of frankincense myrrh and alloys. In other words a garden of frankincense and all the chief spices. A fountain of gards a well of living waters and streams from Lebanon.

Awake. O north wind and come thou south. Blow upon my garden that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden and eat his pleasant fruits. Look at me. Please. In closing. O Holy Spirit the word here is O Holy Spirit come and blow on my garden.

Let let see. This is the garden of God. Let me have so much of you Jesus. Let there be such such a sweet smelling aroma of Christ in me. The Holy Spirit can come and blow through my vessel and flow out to the world with the fragrance of Jesus.

Hallelujah. I don't know if I've I haven't even scratched the surface. There's so much more I could go on to but I haven't seen the fullness of it yet. But I want to make you hungry for that. And I want you to know.

I want us to know the fragrance of Jesus. Is he a sweet smelling savor to you. You get joy out of serving him. Does he bring real happiness and rest and peace to your heart. That's the fragrance. The more restful you are the more you're sensing the glory of this apple tree.

Hallelujah. Among the trees of the sons of men. Hallelujah. Come Holy Spirit blow through this garden of mine. What kind of odor is going to come out of your garden. I hope there's no garbage. I hope there's no stence of the world or flesh.

I hope that when the Holy Ghost comes down in these meetings there'll be a fragrance that come out. The sinner can smell it. Everyone around you can smell it. Now I'll tell you what. If you go home your wife and husband can smell it.
