When I'm an Old Man I'll Wear Mixed Plaids

by Jerry Atrick, Tim Nyberg

Growing old isn't just about subscribing to the large-print edition of Readers' Digest. It's driving your car as slow as you want to, wearing your teeth only when you need them and having a legitimate license to begin sentences with, Back in my day... This book is a tribute to curmudgeons everywhere. It's a mixture of jokes, insights and laughs.

Reviews

[Kelly]

I was okay...but JUST okay.

[Dean]

A fast, easy read. Mildly entertaining.

[Lucy]

Mildly humorous. Not worth keeping to reread.

[Rogue-van (the Bookman)]

There is one strange statement per page about old men, sometimes followed by an explanation or speculation as to why they might do something (like sitting in the park and muttering to themselves--to keep kooks away). It is possible to read these mildly amusing statements without laughing--probably why they weren't published by a known publisher. [Bad Dog Press? Really?]
