Its like trying to retreive a fart into the wind.

 

or keep lit an ass candle in the wind.

 

Since you brought it up, what is the etymological origin of "ass candle"?

Or is it "Ass-candle"?

Posted (edited)

As near as I can tell from my typically exhaustive research, some drunk old guy told me one time that it's a venerable term that applies to people who sit on their ass all the time, 'burning the ass candle at both ends' so to speak.
