Product Description
Product Description
"1,000 Unforgettable Senior Moments in History", of which we could remember only 249, is filled with excruciatingly embarrassing and totally true stories of major mental lapses and famous acts of forgetfulness. How about President Jimmy Carter leaving the codes needed to launch a nuclear missile strike in a suit sent to the dry-cleaners? Or Ralph Waldo Emerson forgetting Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's name at Longfellow's funeral? Did you know that Rod Stewart's "Maggie Mae" was inspired by Stewart's first love, a woman whose full name he can longer recall. Sir Isaac Newton, Harpo Marx, Toscanini, Pope John XXIII - they've all had it worse than you.

I bought this book for my dad for a gift. I haven't read it myself but had to suffer the laughter while he was reading it and he insisted on reading bits out to me so it's obviously very amusing and entertaining! On that basis I'd definitely recommend buying it.

This is a well compiled and seriously funny collection of (246) short anecdotes, with nobody spared and well worth buying.

Beautiful little book!
Although the book is certainly amusing, there are rather more entries concerning Americans than there are about Brits: a disappointment to me, personally, but a minor... Read more

Ok - but not outstandingly well written
I bought this book 'second hand' and it was a good buy. I would have been disappointed to have paid the current 'new' asking price though. Read more

An interesting book, but somehow not as funny and exciting as I had imagined. Delivery was excellent.

Senior moments
Bought as a Christmas Present. Had to read it before I wrapped it. Interesting to see who also suffers from Senior Moments.

Funny and Smart
Funny and smart. A superb job capturing the quirkiness of human beings. The prefect gift for those moments needing a light touch.
