Anyway, after removing the critter, cleaning out the pipe, and uttering phrases like "hot-sick" and a sound resembling a puking noise "hluught" over and over again, he replaced the pipe back in its home.

After lighting close to every candle we owned, our house's scent is back to normal.

Why be happy when you can own a house, right?
