ImagesNine Oldsters Booted out of Nursing Home..

LONDON -- A group of nine love-hungry codgers were booted out of an old folks’ home – after they tried to have an orgy in the recreation room!
The unidentified oldsters, who ranged in age from 73 to 98, had apparently planned the unauthorized after-hours get-together for weeks, according to Melinda Helterford, spokesperson for the well-respected Edith Scarborough Nursing Home.
“They somehow got it in their heads to celebrate the 90th birthday of one of the women with a kind of sex party,” said Miss Helterford.
“This may sound harmless or amusing to some people, but Scarborough has a reputation to uphold. We cannot tolerate that kind of conduct.”
The nursing home made a concerted effort to keep the bizarre story out of the press and so details are difficult to come by.
But according to British papers, the let-it-all-hang-out party took place just after midnight on October 28. The three wrinkly romeos and six sagging seductresses gathered together in the rec room and stripped to the buff.
“They really set the scene,” a nursing home staffer who was not identified told a London tabloid. “They’d got their hands on some candles, which they lit, and even put on music to create a sexy mood.”
The nude geezer-gala went on for about 20 minutes before orderlies heard rumba music coming from the recreational room and went to investigate.
When they opened the doors, they were shocked to find the old-timers crowded together in their birthday suits, slathered with baby oil.
“They hadn’t got too far -- I guess it was taking the gents a while to get started,” the staffer said.
“But they were all naked. Believe me, it was the scariest thing I’ve seen in my life.”
