Product Description

Forget the myth that you'll be a sort of elder statesperson to the rest of the family. Your life will now consist of sleeping during sex instead of after it, and going to more funerals than weddings. You'll bend down to touch your toes and then forget what you went down there for. On the plus side, you can look forward to getting your own stair-lift, and can now get away with making no effort whatsoever to lose weight. And all those charities you gave to - it's payback time!

Customer Reviews

nice little book
nice little book,ideal to give someone who has a sense of humour who is 60 !

Don't bother - even for a joke!
I bought this as a joke gift for someone with a sense of humour - I read it through before giving it. Thank goodness I did as it was potentially the most lame gift I have ever given. I thought it a waste of time and not worth the ticket price - you would consider this junk immediately after reading it (if not during) and it would be highly unlikely you'd want to re-read it ever. The illustrations are the same throughout - so not really adding to the text, which itself is trite, obvious and not amusing. I didn't give the gift - the book is bunged somewhere in hopes I don't have to see it again - when I do it will go to goodwill. I decided giving this would require too much explanation on my part why I chose this silly book (I thought it would be filled with amusing pearls of wisdom or wit - it wasn't) and would have to give a detailed codicil to state I hoped no offence would be caused either due to its rubishness or to the occasionally semi-offensive wording. Take it from me; had I read this review before buying, I wouldn't have bought it. Save your cash, and give them bunch of flowers or a bottle of something instead.

So You're 60
arrived in time, a birthday present for someone but I had a read too, very funny!
