Dad was already preaching when Mamie arrived at church. She had worked at the catfish restaurant and as sitting down, she asked Angela for some perfume. She thought it would disguise the smell of food on her clothing.
Angela, who was sitting behind Mamie held up a bottle of perfume. Mamie extended her arm and told Angela to spray it on her wrist, which she did. Mamie rubbed her wrists together and rubbed them on her neck before the smell hit her nostrils. It was "Mornin' Breeze" perfume and Dad said it smelled like 'lightning had struck the outhouse.'
Micah, a little three or four year old girl was three rows behind Mamie sleeping on the pew. She started gagging and throwing up.
Everyone was rolling with laughter, and Angela was laughing so hard she had to go out. Dad was preaching when the laughter started, and was bumfuzzled for just a moment, before he smelled it, then he started grinning. Angela said, "When I saw that smile, I knew I had made Dad proud."
