Shelley Klein is a freelance writer, compiler, and editor. She is the author of several books, including The Book of Senior Moments and its follow-up, More Senior Moments..
You Know You're Over the Hill When... is a laugh-out-loud celebration of the inevitable fate that awaits us all. There are hundreds of hilarious as well as heartwarming examples of mistaken identity and senior moments, plus clever quips and telling truisms that will keep you and your friends and family entertained for hours. The readable format and content make it easy to either dip into at random for a quick laugh or read from cover- to-cover. Throughout the book are bullet points of various telltale signs of being over- the-hill ("Your idea of a night out is sitting on the porch"; "You start calling your offspring by the dog's name"; "Your body becomes shorter, but your stories become longer")
Inside you'll find dozens of real-life case studies and amusing anecdotes, over 50 charming black-and-white illustrations, and hundreds of quotes and stories from such famous personalities as Mel Brooks, Winston Churchill, Germaine Greer, and Homer Simpson.
