Richard Smith's wildly popular books have made America laugh about everything from wedding-night jitters to weight loss. Now he turns his comic talent to a subject he's about to experience himself: climbing the half-century hill.



Over the next 15 years, 45 million baby boomers will celebrate their 50th birthdays. With Smith as their guide, the Boomers will know exactly what lies ahead. Not only does turning 50 mean you survived your 40s, but you get to join the AARP, answer your front door in bedroom slippers, and spend your kid's inheritance on liposuction. You also know you're 50 when...



Your main form of aerobic exercise is getting up to change the channelAn obscene phone call makes you chuckleYou think a mosh pit is something found at the center of an exotic fruitYou wonder who'll die first--you or your moneyYou wish the "ol' ticker" had a quartz movement"Performance anxiety" refers to your golf game



With 200 of these cleverly illustrated clues and quips as well as comparison charts, entertaining graphs, and hilarious lists, You Know You're 50 When... will be the must-have, must-give birthday present for every soon-to-be-50 American.

A Little Humor to Go with the AARP Card!

With an epidemic of people turning 50 ahead of us, what should we do but laugh!

Seriously, every week I am regaled with at least 12 stories of what 50th birthday parties were like. I'm not sure I can take 20 more years of this. I am always trying to find humor to help me get through these stories, as well as humor I can give as gifts to people.

This Special Large Print Edition is perfect for my purposes.

Here are some of my favorite jokes from the book:

You know you're 50 when --

on your second honeymoon, you tip the bellhop to carry her across the threshold.

you wonder how Mick Jagger stays so thin.

you drop off your dry cleaning at the post office.

'performance anxiety' refers to golf.

your children earn salaries, not allowances.

you're still able to recall where you left your keys, but not what they unlock.

you now read Playboy for the fashion tips.

at last it's okay to sleep late, but you can't.

you carefully trip the fat from cookies.

staying power refers to remaining awake through Cats.

Florida starts looking good.

Be sure to read this book and find your own favorite jokes to keep you amused by your 50+ old friends. Use it to overcome the misconception stall that humor ends with 50.

Boy, I'm Over 50 and fit right in with this book

There are many very funny jokes and riddles. Nicely illustrated. Fun to have along in the car for the passenger to entertain the driver. It's well written.


Good gag gift for aging friends

I like to give books like this (ie, "Getting Old Sucks"; Dave Barry Turns 50) to all my friends when they hit the "Big 5-oh"! It makes getting older a little less painful when you laugh...`


Very funny and cute 50th birthday book . . . .

Which I've sent to a friend or two for their 50th birthdays.

I loved it, but still haven't gotten a "true review" from the recipients. Has lovely Miss Manners absolved gift recipients these days from having to say "thank you?" I certainly hope not, because I'd love objective reviews of what I send to them and consider funny.

Time's a wastin' on those thank-yous, good friends. Hope you loved the book as much as I did and will let me (and other potential readers) know it.

I highly recommend this as a funny little gift on its own or as part of a larger 50th birthday package!

Gift

I bought this book for my uncle who was turning 50. I didn't get a chance to read it myself but he seemed to get a kick out of it.
