[[A man reaches longingly for a woman, who recoils from his touch.]]
Man: Gimme kisses come on gimme some kisses
Woman: No! Your breath is all garlicky! I only kiss minty freshness!
Man: Minty freshness? What a scam! It's just a ploy by the gum industry.
Man: You've been socially conditioned by mouthwash commercials to believe that mint equals clean. But really, you're just trading one food smell for another!
Man: ...So, logically you should kiss me now.
Woman: I would, if you hadn't conditioned me to be repulsed by you.
