OK, OK Old women everywhere! Enough with the perfume! I can not handle the gallons and gallons of "glamorous" scent that you wear. While working out at work with Lora a couple of Saturdays ago I was nearly brought to my knees by a older women sporting a rather formidable scent. As I was trying to finish my last mile I was engulfed with a deluge of perfume that I can only assume was very popular amongst the finest of working women in Paris during the same year the Eiffel tower was erected for the worlds fair. Unfortunately this is not an isolated inced ant. When you can not smell your delicious, greasy Mongolian beef cooking because Bea Arthur is stinking up the whole restaurant...we have a problem!
I consider myself well versed in almost all topics but this is an issue that has puzzled me for some time now. Is this display of reckless use of perfume merely a carryover from the post world war II boom? Or do our olfactory bulbs shrink just like our old bodies. I don't get it. There are 2 reasons that old ladies smell: Moth balls and wayyy too much f'n perfume. I hope that generations of women to come do not loose their sense of smell and start pouring the White Diamonds on everything deemed unfit for human noses necessary. I just can't take the "Essence of Old" anymore!
