Wrinklies' a Trip Down Memory Lane

A Miscellany of the Good Old Days Mike Haskins, Clive Whichelow

{IPG}

Summary

A delightful celebration of the times gone by-the language we lost, the currency we changed, and the way we used to live

With this miscellany of reminiscences, you will be transported back to a time when exams were harder and fast food wasn't on the menu. It includes useful Latin declensions, the true origins of famous sayings, essential trigonometry, predecimal coinage, the history of sliced bread, advertising slogans from our youth, old-fashioned sweets, men's hats, Archers characters, 1950s hairstyles, 1960s dances, great inventions, TV weathermen, and more. With this wealth of trivia and invaluable facts about times past, you can explain to your poor grandchildren exactly what they missed out on.

Wrinklies Growing Old Disgracefully

A Guide to Staying Wild at Heart Mike Haskins, Clive Whichelow

Summary

The perfect gift for cool grandparents, this catalog of elderly misbehavior includes tips on extreme sports for the not-so-young, how to party like it's 1959, and achieving the effects of illegal drugs legally

Heroin is also said to give you a warm feeling like being wrapped in cotton wool. So clearly the wrinklies' legal equivalent to heroin is a nice snugly foot warmer or one of those blankets with arm holes.

Growing older doesn't mean you have to grow up. If you're the sort of golden oldie who still likes to party hard, chats up strangers in bars, listens to loud music-and not because your hearing is going, or dresses so outrageously that your grandchildren beg you to "tone it down," this book is for you. It is full of irreverent advice on how to misbehave and put the younger generation to shame, including pick-up lines for swinging wrinklies: Tell me gorgeous-do I come here often? or I can't quite reach to nibble your ear, but if I give you my dentures will you do it for yourself? this is a hilarious celebration of misspent seniority.

Wrinklies Joke Book 2

You're Never Too Old For Fun! Mike Haskins, Clive Whichelow

{IPG}

Summary

The Wrinklies Joke Book was appreciated by the older generation for being a joke book that was FOR old people and the things they found funny, not laughing AT them. Here is another collection of great jokes, witty observations, and hilarious quotations concerning everything that old people hold dear! As with volume 1, there are jokes, stories, proverbs, and funny observations all relating to the older generation. This is not a book that mocks the old, however-it is a joke book specifically designed FOR oldies, so look out you little pipsqueaks-you probably won't understand half of them!

Wrinklies' Wit & Wisdom Rides Again

Allison Vale, Alison Rattle

{IPG}

Summary

"I truly believe if you think yourself young, you'll convince others too.

Middle age is when you're forced to." -Bill Vaughn "People started to tell me that I wasn't young anymore early on in my career. When, at 25, I told a Hollywood producer my age, he informed me cynically, 'Twenty-five? Honey, that's not young in this town anymore.' " Joan Collins, The Art of Living Well More than 1,500 amusing, interesting, and thought-provoking sayings and quotations on all aspects of aging are gathered in this collection. Chapters include Under the Knife, Hobbies and Pastimes, The Perks of Getting Older, Youngsters Today, Turning 50, You Can't Take it With You, and many more!

Senior citizens have never gone gentle into that good night: they live life to the fullest, take on new challenges, and show the world how to grow old disgracefully This sparkling collection of saying and quips proves that the stereotypes of knitting grannies and doddering granddads couldn't be farther from the truth. With a vast assortment of topics addressed-among them life, love, the universe, and Viagra-these quotes are simultaneously hilarious and pithy, and prove Maurice Chevalier right when he said that "old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative."
