This review is from: A Treasury of Senior Humor: Jokes, Cartoons, Funny Stories -- For And About Us Older Folks (Paperback)

When I bought this book for my 92 year old dad, Sis muttered, "He'll hate it! And he'll be so-o-o-o angry that you bought him a book, especially an old-geezer-book." Three days later Dad has read completely through the thing and is running up a BIG long distance bill calling all his pals and cousins to share the jokes, stories, humor, and chuckles. Every page is chock full of some of the world's best and most positive humor about the pitfalls and pleasures of aging. True, some of these jokes are more than a century old, but that makes them even more appreciated by folks who detect echoes of the language from their youth. And, of course, I've read most of this book too -- with great enjoyment. It's the kind of collection of short bits you can dip into for a quick chuckle or curl up with for an hour of quiet smiling. I highly recommend it if you haven't already read it. As for Dad, this afternoon he asked me to order some extra copies for him to send to friends. There is no greater compliment than that from a man who "doesn't care much for books".
