1,000 Unforgettable Senior Moments: Of Which We Could Remember Only 254

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?”

1000 Unforgettable Senior Moments

Takes you on a ride through the senior brains lol. Some are funny, some are not. Some are, WTF. But the thing is we all have that brain fart moment, more often than we like to admit, and it sucks when it happens! You're standing there having a conversation with a person and for the life of you you can't remember their name, and you want to ask them a personal question. And as soon as you do, you forget the question. Or, what it was about. You take that time to say fuck it I am going home to bed. 20 seconds after you get in the car you remember the whole conversation and what the question was and what it was about. And the name of the person you were talking to is named Sam. No God doesn't hate you.. That's just the way life is! That's why you read books like this LMFAO........

There are a few really funny unforgettable senior moments, but I forget which ones they are. Many of the moments were just confusing. Hopefully I will remember that I read this book so I don’t read it again.
