SKIMTON, WA-This week scientist finally unraveled the mystery behind the affliction that that so many of our senior citizens suffer from, 'Old People Smell.' While at work on the Human Genome project. This group of Geneticists discovered that a section in Chromosome 20, at the onset of 'Old,' causes our elderly to get that old person smell. Many people discounted this as an actual genetic affliction citing that 'old people like to spit and defecate on themselves." This now has been proven untrue in that it is a gene that causes it.

This person is in the Late stages of 'Old People Smell'

When asked what does this imply for us, The General Public, the Lead Geneticist Mark Christianson stated "Think of it. No longer will 'old Folks' homes smell like..well..'Old Folks.' No longer will you get the willies in your nose from that odd vomit, disinfectant, soap, fecal smell, when you hug your grandparents. Or if you are an "Old Folk' you will no longer have to worry about developing that old people smell."

BrainSpew replied with"..We kinda like that 'Old Fart' smell. Reminds us we aren't old yet. Heck, it is natures way of letting you know you are old." Needless to say the Geneticists were not pleased and are quoted as saying "Yeah..well what do you know... WE'RE Geneticists!"

It will be at least two to three more years before drugs build around dealing with old people smell will be on the market.
