Janis has him trained like one of Pavlov’s dogs.
Arlo was just getting ready for bed. When he came out, that little lamp was on and he knows it’s time for some loving because Janis is a dirty girl and likes to do it with some lights on. This is a wonderfully unambiguous signal and other couples could learn from this.
This is a takeoff from the Navy/Marine Corps (and likely even further back in history) practice of not permitting smoking during activities involving gunpowder/ammunition. So if the smoking lamp is lit – game on! If the lamp is out – refrain. So here’s to lots of lit lamps.

Doesn’t seem likely. Too obscure a reference.
A “‘x’ light is on gag”, in modern America, is more likely to be about seatbelts. Since we went to all-nonsmoking flights in commercial aviation, the captain has turned on the “no smoking” sign and left it on.
My mind went with Krispy Kreme (HOT- sign lit when the doughnuts are fresh from the fryer) or Little Ceasar’s (Hot and Ready).
The beacons are lit! Gondor calls for aid!
I agree with the “smoking lamp” reference. It wasn’t the “whoopie light”.
My bride and I have had various “lights” through our 46 years; some kerosene, some candles, some LED…(gotta keep current, ya know)
And just for the heck of it…
A little nightlight that said “Tonight’s The Night” and another that said “Not Tonight Please” were real products.
James, you generate a great deal of heat, but rarely light. Try again.
huh?
I took the “Whoopie Light” as a reference to the lamps house of ill repute used to place in their windows to notify the sailors that they were open for business.

Look WHAT up? It?
