De la solapa interior
A younger friend of mine told me that he believed that life begins when your last child leaves home and takes the dog with him. He has so much to learn...This book takes a humorous look at the various aspects of growing older. Growing older is mandatory; growing up is optional.* On Grandchildren: Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your own children.* On Marriage: You know you are an old married man when getting lucky means finding your car in the parking lot and an all-nighter means not getting up to pee.* On Doctors: If you go to the doctor and tell him your left arm hurts and he can't figure out why, he'll just say it is old age. I don't buy that because my right arm is just as old and it doesn't hurt.* On Attitude: Eventually you'll reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.* On Loss of Memory: I went to the doctor about my loss of memory. He gave me some pills to take three times a day. If I could remember anything three times a day, I wouldn't need the pills.If you remember 5 & 10 cent stores, home delivery of milk with glass bottles and listening to the President's speeches on the radio - this book is for you. "Laughing At Growing Old" will help you remember that being over the hill is much better than being under it.
