What is that smell in here...oh wait my Grandparents are here!

Here's an interesting myth...old people apparently smell. How do they smell? Well, when I was growing up, and with my limited contact with the aged I always thought they just smelled of must, mothballs, medicine and antiseptic. Not since 2001 or so the myth goes.
I bring this up because some kind of Japanese research (in 2001) found out that older Japanese smelt greasy. I don't know too many elderly Japanese to test this theory, so I'll just take their word for it that old Japanes people smell until I get the chance to sniff one close up. "Excuse me Sir, may I sniff you to see if you have a greasy smell?" That line's sure to work like a charm and elicit excitement on any elderly Japanese person who doesn't get to be sniffed often.
The good thing about if an elderly person smells (no matter where they're from) is that they'd be so much easier to find. "Hey Johnny where's Grandma?" (Johnny raises his head slightly with his nose angled up and sniffs) "Just a minute mom...she's sitting in her wheelchair. She's just been some more cod liver oil/garlic tablets for easy location". Now if there's no sign of illness to give them that great medicinal smell or a wheelchair, just sneak a few mothball/ camphor balls into their pockets so that wherever they are they can smell. So not only can they be safe but you can find them quickly, safely and easily. Imagine, your children can also reminisce after the aged loved one has died and relate whenever smelling the medicine or mothballs to the elderly relatives love.
