What is What's So Funny About Getting Old? : Humorous Cartoons, Quips and Quotes about?

<p class="null1">One bonus of getting older is that it gives us a great perspective on life ...and that includes plenty of humor!</p> <p>This collection of cartoons, quips, quotes, and insights introduces a new comedy genre: elderhumor. It captures the wry hilarity of our real-life sitcoms. Generational vocabulary gaps, miscommunications, preoccupation with health and comforts, foibles, disguises (for aging), even physical limitations — all can have their funny sides when we're laughing at ourselves.</p> <p>This book, a light-hearted gift for anyone who's 50-plus, is a memoryjogger too. Remember the Katzenjammer Kids? Jack Armstrong? Apple Mary? Check out your friends' ages by their responses to a "Vanishing Words" test (examples: "spider," "broomstick skirt," "running board," "the shag"). If you're still calling the refrigerator an "icebox," it's a giveaway — you're probably over 60.</p> <p><i>What's So Funny about Getting Old?</i> is brought to you by a comedy team of two. Ed Fischer is an award-winning cartoonist. Jane Thomas Noland, author of <i>Laugh It Off</i> (what's so funny about trying to lose weight?) is a books editor and a former <i>Minneapolis Star Tribune</i> feature
