Preferring not to socialize during church, Maxine Merman always credited the use of cheap bulk perfume for giving her a whole pew to herself.

This may explain the time HAZMAT was called to The Church of U Got It Babe after Aunt Lizzie complained about an overwhelming aroma of violet scented sachet. No one was seriously injured, but the senior usher did complain that he suffered a “fit of coughing and sneezing” later.

Ms. Merman has been credited for playing a key role in the church’s recent revival. This was after realizing that the congregation’s tears of repentance and devotion were actually tears from the burning sensation caused by Ms. Merman’s perfume.

In a word, putridity is the one I’d use if challenged to summarize the attitude behind Maxine Merman’s “anti-social-scent-rebellion”. Although, words like repugnant, nasty and rancid come to mind.
It is well known that anti-social scents give all but the most spiritual a headache and cause many a weaker believer to consider switching to a more scent-friendly church. In short, Ms. Merman’s offensively malodorous approach to worship destroys the very fabric of koinōnia. She will want to seriously regard the saying of an anonymous saint of old, “You cannot draw nigh to God if you are at a distance from your brother.”
Enjoy!

A most articulate and proper rebuke of Maxine and her ilk. To use a biblical phrase, “She stinketh!”

This opens a whole new door for explaining the “P” TULIP.

It looks like Maxine & her sister Ethel were both overwelling to their church…..
Maxine was too aromatic and Ethel was too loud. -

Well, golly gee, if she didn’t want to “socialize” during “Church” all she had to do was bring her King James Version Bible and read from it! That would clear the pew around her much faster and with less toxidity than the cheap perfume!
And if she wanted several pews to be open, she could have easily sat in the front row!

“The mighty prophet/apostle/healer/deliverer/quasi-Messiah Benny Hinn said that Jesus Himself is going to show up in one of his revivals. I’ve got my big bottle of ointment to pour on His feet, and sponge-curls to soak it up!”
