The edgy sentiments in this gift book are sure to produce guffaws at the expense of the birthday boy and perhaps serve up a little friendly revenge for barbs of birthdays past. The book includes such ribbing as: Remember when you were a kid and you hunted for fossils' Now you are one. Scientists now have a theory about why you feel bad on your birthday. You're very old. Don't get down about getting older. Some lizards live to be over 200 (but no one wants to touch them). Now that you're older, admit it. You watch the Weather Channel.

To reinforce just how old your friend is, a "vintage" black-and-white photo accompanies each tidbit of devilish humor.
