More the Merrier

When you reach a certain age (try seventy), people figure you're not long for this world. That's not true for Jerry Zezima, who is shockingly immature, which makes him seem a lot younger. In The More the Merrier: Laughing at Life When Everyone Thinks You re Over the Hill, the nationally syndicated humorist gleefully turns down an offer to buy burial insurance, gets the last laugh on a cardiologist who says he needs open-heart surgery, relishes being his grandchildren s favorite toy, and happily helps his lively mom celebrate her one-hundredth birthday. Filled with hilarious and absolutely true stories, The More the Merrier proves you can grow old and still be young, and that laughter is, indeed, the best medicine.
