Still Laughing - a humor book to laugh along with
"We laugh with older people, never at them."
By Taegong (Karl Chu) Β· KoMeRiCa Books Β· premium 14-point large print
Many humor books simply poke fun at aging, forgetfulness and wrestling with machines. This book does not. It sees aging not as losing things, but as wisdom coming to completion.
It is made with large type and generous line spacing, so you can read it without reading glasses.
"In the sunlight of the years we are still laughing out loud - and that smile is the greatest wisdom we have."

The five promises of this book
Laughter has its dignity too. From the first page to the last, this book keeps five promises.
One. We laugh with older people, never at them.
Two. Illness, memory, hearing, loss, and needing someone's help are never the joke.
Three. Stories about husbands and wives are always affectionate.
Four. The machine is the butt of the joke - never the person.
Five. Every page you turn should make your heart a little lighter - never smaller.

Retirement and the long marriage negotiation
The freedom of writing "Nothing" with pride when your wife asks, "What's on your schedule today?"
Children, grandchildren and the family group chat
Sending flower photos and hearts every morning to a family scattered across countries, just to say "we're all right."

How to enjoy it
There are five ways to read it, so you can open it however suits your day - from a 10-second laugh in the doctor's waiting room to a story the whole family reads together around the dinner table.
