The charm of laughing at my growing physical and mental deficiencies.

Getting old is inevitable but enjoying life is not, it must be worked at. One of the most effective ways to maintain the enjoyment is to laugh about things. Most of the things that happen to you as you age must be laughed at, for if you don't they will tend to depress you. Therefore, jokes about growing sensitivity of the joints, lack of stamina, failure of the senses and all of the other signs of advanced maturity are a necessity. This book contains many jokes in that genre and while there were none that generated outright hysterics, all of them brought a smile to my face. While I am not yet dealing with the source material of most of these jokes, I can see them ahead, even without my glasses. I enjoyed this book, both for the look ahead and the charm of laughing at my growing physical and mental deficiencies.
