Dashboard Nose Job
Why do older people drive with their noses up over the dashboard?
———- from Shannon Archer of Dearborn MI
Science used to think it was because they’re looking for something on the pavement. But then science took the time to ask an elderly driver and found it was in order to better smell the dashboard. Apparently the smell of dusty vinyl triggers past memories. With that comes increased motoring skills. Now if that seems odd, remember that many an astronaut taped an old sweatsock inside the space suit helmet as a reminder of those crazy student days at the air academy. It takes whatever it takes.
