This is a question Advice from Old People

Sometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.

Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.

Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

This is a QotW answer not mine, but one of my favourite
qotw replies ever, from juan quar:



I used to look after dotty old pensioners.
They had industrial-grade senility. One told me, 'Never smell of wee. My mother always used to say that. Never smell of wee. And I never have.'

Good advice. We should all listen to Doris's mother.



this nearly made me wet myself the first time i read it...

This is a QotW comment If you had wet yourself
you would have smelled of wee, and therefore gone against this sound advice.

I thought all old people smelled of wee anyway? -and Lavender, and Imperial Leather. EDIT and Talcum powder.

This is a QotW comment Do you use the shower gel or the soap?
As long as you use deodorants and don't smell of the soap you'll be ok.

This is a QotW comment I use the soap
I tend to find all other soaps smell of girls.
