While there are people who actually embrace getting older (although we confess not to know any) most try to deny it. Rita Rudner is no exception. When she reached 50, she couldn't even bear to admit it: It was more comfortable getting a laugh and telling people I was filthy than having to say the word fffiffffty, she writes. In her hysterically dead-on book I Still Have It.I Just Can't Remember Where I Put It, she relates her absurd adventures as a woman of a certain age navigating the strange and terrifyingly funny world of near-sighted insights. In chapters such as Artificially Hip; Older Than Springtime, Younger Than Angela Lansbury; I Won't Blog, Don't Ask Me; and The Advantage of Vintage, Rudner tackles body issues, style, and technology, and looks at the wonders and surprises of life on the dark side of 50. So put on your bifocals and get ready to laugh. Just don't blame Rita if your laugh lines become visibly deeper. Sexy deadpan is comedian Rita Rudner's trademark style, never more in evidence than in I Still Have It . I Just Can't Remember Where I Put It . Pure vaudeville, a kick at any age.--O, The Oprah Magazine.…

If you use it once a day, you look younger in a month.
Twice a day, you look younger in two weeks.
I ate it.
As the years go by, and the decades begin to pile up, people will do just about anything to reverse the signs of aging: LASIK surgery, industrial-strength hair dye, seven consecutive forty-ninth birthday parties. Rita Rudner is no exception. When she turned fifty, she couldn’t even bear to say the word.
In I Still Have It . . . I Just Can’t Remember Where I Put It, Rudner writes with humor and candor about all of the small indignities and everyday absurdities that have become standard fare. From the perils of catalog-ordering addiction to the challenges of keeping up with the latest in electronics, lingerie, and reality television to the joys and worries of being an older mother to the long search for the perfect retirement house, Rita covers it all.
So put on your bifocals and power up your sense of humor! Just don’t blame Rita when your laugh lines get visibly deeper. Refreshingly honest and undeniably hilarious, I Still Have It . . . I Just Can’t Remember Where I Put It is a laugh-out-loud look at the wonders and the surprises of life on the dark side of fifty.
