It's Great to Be Old: 401 Reasons to Stop Lying About Your Age! by Jim Dale
A perfect antidote to disparaging over-the-hill humour at birthdays, this gift book illuminates the bright side of baldness, wrinkles, bifocals, waning sex drive and other symptoms of ageing. From over-sixties discounts to the benefits of hearing loss, Jim Dale shows you that the grass really is greener on the other side of the hill. From the book's introduction: 'Welcome to old age. Getting old isn't bad. In fact, it's great. For one thing, you're not young and stupid anymore. For another, young people have to act nice to you. You never, ever have to go to a disco again. You don't have to sit on the floor. So, congratulations - you are old. It took along time to get here, but it was worth the wait.'
