Move Over Madame Curie

We have all smelled them coming...those ladies of a certain age who announce their presence by their perfume shouting into the room before they arrive. Magnet Strip Girl, being less girl each day, has feared the metamorphosis into that type of geriatric superhero. But yesterday she discovered a secret that will forever change the fears lying dormant in the hearts of little girls, and the solution to an age old mystery.

While preparing to accompany PE on a matter of world security(buying more pj bottoms from Walmart), Magnet Strip Girl found herself uncharacteristically reaching for an obnoxious perfume that was lurking on the edges of her vanity. She was thinking, "I feel I am losing my identity in PE's unique, naturally-unmodified-by-scrupulous-daily-ablutions scent. Perhaps this will cover it up." And Eureka!! MSG joined the ranks of such paragons of female virtue as Marie Curie, Amelia Earhardt, and the mother of the Monkee band member who patented "white out." In a flash, it was clear. Women of a certain age do not wear profuse amounts of perfume because their olfactory senses have died...they do it to mask the odor of the men of a certain age with whom they hang.

(Magnet Strip Girl is now keeping her phone lines open in case the judges of the Nobel prize come calling.)
