Manly, yes, but I like it too...

From The Bachelor's Guide to Home Decor at Video meliora...
”The short cut to dusting furniture is to blow hard, which most bachelors are good at since they've yet to experience the awesome civilizing force of marriage. A good blast of air will make it look as though the dust has only accumulated for a week or two rather than a month or two.”

My secret revealed. All this time the family thought I had been blowing kisses at the pictures of family members (both departed and still with us)
that decorate the stairway.
