    About this ebook

    Are you “getting on in years,” or know someone who is? Thinking of changing your birth certificate to show a more favorable birth date? You may lie about your age, but your age won’t lie to you!

                Not sure how to tell when you’re about to reach that fun sixtieth birthday? 

    Here are some clues:
    WebMD is your home page
    When asked, “Who’s your doctor?” you have to reply, “Which one?”
    An outbreak of acne makes you feel like a teenager again
    At your class reunion, you note with satisfaction that the captain of the football team wears a hearing aid
    The meadows where you sowed your wild oats are now shopping malls
    That empty seat on the bus has your name on it
    Your pharmacist greets you with “What’ll it be, pal?” 
     

    Getting older is not only fun . . . it’s funny! And with You Know You’re 60 When . . ., you’ll be laughing as you go kicking and screaming over the hill, happily clutching your chest!
