About this Book
Lavishly illustrated—including over 50 classic tart cartoons from The New
Yorker—The Complete Geezer Guidebook is a hilarious celebration of the
joys of living long enough to be irritating to everyone around you. Avowed
geezer Chuck Adams affectionately but unerringly zings the eccentricity,
inconsiderateness, stubbornness, obstinacy, stinginess and general
grumpiness that transforms a regular, harmless old person into that awesome
work of nature, the authentic geezer. The Complete Geezer Guidebook is the
perfect gift for geezers or anyone who has to put up with them.
No other book teaches the taxonomy of the various geezer subspecies—Gezarius
miserus (the nest egg geezer), Gezarius maladius (the hypochondriac geezer),
Gezarius clubitis (the golfing geezer) and more. No other book demonstrates
the rich expressiveness of geezer language, with its many subtle variations
of confrontation, ranting, whining, stopping conversation with an
ill-tempered grunt and telling long, drawn-out, boring stories. You’ll learn
how to be tightfisted; how to be a hypochondriac; and how to write your will
to completely disappoint your family. From what kind of car you should drive
when you’re too old to drive safely to what kind of cane is best for
threatening youngsters, The Complete Geezer Guidebook is … well … a complete
guidebook to the geezer lifestyle.
If you
want to understand the geezers around you—if you’re a geezer yourself—or,
most terrifying of all, if you’re metamorphosing from a normal person into a
geezer—you must read The Complete Geezer Guidebook.
