Product Description:
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 channel
- An obscene phone call makes you chuckle
- You think a mosh pit is something found at the center of an exotic fruit
- You wonder who'll die first--you or your money
- You 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.

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.

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 ... Read More

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.

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:

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...`
