Finally a jokebook that makes you laugh out loud. This book makes getting older a little bit easier and is the perfect gift for anyone...no matter what their age.

Gene Perret is an experienced comedy writer who brings his talents to bear in Growing Older Is So Much Fun Everybody's Doing It. This compendium of wholesome, short humor puts a positive spin on the stereotyped foibles of older folks. Here's just a sampling of Perret's wit and wisdom: If my kids wanted me to grow old gracefully, they should have behaved better when they were young; Youth is not only wasted on the young, it's also tiring on their grandparents; I know I get on your nerves once in a while. At my age, that's a form of recreation; Every story I tell my grandchildren is either true or would have been true if it had actually happened; If older people are supposed to be forgetful, how come there are so many conventions with younger people wearing name tags?; The perfect age is when you can wear your most comfortable shoes with any outfit; When I was young I was unpleasant. Now that I'm older, I'm "feisty". Growing Older Is So Much Fun Everybody's Doing It is highly recommended reading for anyone from 9 to 99!
