The germolene gene is what my sister and I refer to when we realize in ourselves any unfortunate traits (i.e., bad behavior) that we have inherited from our father - the original Germolene Gene.
These tend to involve too much drinking, being highly antisocial at times, too much drinking, smoking, being an overall a**hole, and a whole load of other things.
Germolene is an ointment sold in England. Kinda like Neosporin for Brits. But back in the day it was really really bright pink and stunk like some approximation of rootbeer.
My father would practically bathe in the stuff (just like JLo with Creme de la Mer), but refused to ever rub it in. It was a sight and a smell to behold.
You'll be hearing more stories in the future about the original Germolene Gene and how his genes have manisfested themselves in his two lovely daughters.
Not now, but whenever I feel like it.

The closest thing over here would be the Mario Badescu drying lotion. It's pink and it smells to high heaven.

Dear Anonymous Sister - what makes you think that you are GG#1?
Although I'm not sure we should be fighting over this dubious title
I love it.. looking forward to hearing more.
So, what did you do that prompted this post?
Oh Jeff - the question is what didn't I do?
Can't wait to hear some stories from Mr. OG himself -- the Germaline paterfamilias.
