We keep scented candles in the bathroom (for obvious reasons) and have come to use the phrase “light a candle” as an analogy for, well, doing one’s business on the toilet. So Wiley’s proverb still applies!
I think that was Troob in Wizard of Id. It went:Listen to me and I’m sure you’ll agreethat the bravest man in eternitywas neither a soldier or champion of law,but the first to devour an oyster, raw.
A toast to Uncle UglugThat early heroic humanThe first to eat an oysterThe first to marry a woman.God’s curse on him who murmersAs the banquet waxes moister,“Had he only eaten the woman.Had he only married the oyster.”— Ogden Nash

Bruno Zeigerts—-I think that TNT stands for Tri Nitro Toluene, otherwise known by the common name of dynamite.

“He who would rather curse the darkness than light a single candle has lost his flashlight in the dynamite shed”.
Sure I’ve read it phrased that way at least once before.
