Summary:

What do we learn from our humor of others? Can humor be used to promote age-related impressions, opinions and stereotypes among us? Lee explores such questions through a series of humorous stories, jokes and one-liners. He finds the bulk of the age-related humor focuses on our failing memories or our aging bodies. But there is a new brand of humor emerging that could have a much more positive effect on how we feel about aging. Enjoy the laughs. But let’s start considering the direction our age-related humor is taking us.
