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. 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. \u003ci\u003eWhat's So Funny about Getting Old?\u003c\/i\u003e is brought to you by a comedy team of two.
