"Old age is like a plane flying through a storm. Once you're on board, there's nothing you can do." -Golda MeirThis is the calendar that celebrates the quirks of memory and aging. Based on the bestselling book 1,000 Unforgettable Senior Moments, here is a year of head-slapping, real-life senior moments, like the time two absent-minded prison escapees abandoned a stolen car, where they'd left careful notes about their travel plans. Wise and funny quotes: "You're never too old to become younger." -Mae West. Confusion in the Court (Attorney: "So, when he woke up, he was dead?"), Insurance Claims of the Deeply Distracted ("The other car collided with mine without giving me warning of its intention."), Headscratching Headlines, and more.? Printed on responsibly sourced paper and 100% recyclable.

The president who left the nuclear launch codes in a suit at the dry cleaners. The novelist who put the orange juice outside and the kitten in the refrigerator. The Russian general who left home in full military dress . . . minus his pants. The famous sex goddess who blew the same line through 52 takes. And the rock star who no longer remembers 1975. Filled with classic lapses, gaffes, and mental bloopers, 1,000 Unforgettable Senior Moments is a fabulous and witty gift for anyone of a certain age. And now it is updated, revised with more than 20 percent new stories, and repackaged in two color, making it an even more vibrant, visually appealing, fresh, and compellingly readable book. Anyone who’s ever had a mental lapse will empathize with relative spring chicken Nicki Minaj, who, while accepting a BET Viewers’ Choice Award, forgot why she was receiving the statuette (on live national television, no less). Or the team of astrophysicists who believed they had discovered proof of alien life—only to discover the signals were coming from the lunchroom microwave. Here’s a best man forgetting to show up at the wedding, a musician leaving his priceless cello in a cab, the bank robber who wrote a holdup note on a paycheck stub that had his name and address printed on it, and the Fox studio chief who, when pressed by his leading lady to remember her name, offered “. . . Cleopatra?”
