"So there was this one time, I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now where was I? Oh, yeah — the important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. You couldn't get white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...."^[1]

Wait, what was I saying? Oh, that's right: if you are looking for a group of editors who work on geriatric-related articles then you are in the wrong place. Try the Association of Editors for Geriatric Articles.

Likewise, the Association of Geriatric Articles Editors is where you need to go if you are looking for our oldest articles.

We are the Association of Geriatric Editors, and we hate those other associations even more than we hate the Romans. We hate the Association of Geriatric Editors the most — oh, wait, we are the Association of Geriatric Editors!
