I Still Have It . . . I Just Can’t Remember Where I Put It: Confessions of a Fiftysomething (Where I Put It:Confessions
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.

Antino: we don’t want the same type of comedy as the last president. Our country is growing… not in size but mentally, as well. We are adapting to more and learning more…. those jokes come to show that we are making progress, becoming more open minded and not offended by “jokes”.
why does it look like she is on fire? i clicked the thumbnail because i like rita’s jokes but also i thought there was a napalm accident.
Funny stuff, especially what Rita said after she mentioned Vegas now has a ballet company.
What was classy about it; making fun of the ex president? Jokes in front of the president should be the same as usual and maybe some cute non-vicious political jokes.
hah!
Oh my goodness gracious mercy me oh my; the last line is pure genius. My jaw hit the floor.
Thank you, so very much, mritmar, for sharing this with us.
That’s not Rita!
That’s Casper The Friendly Ghost!
Oh wow. Great video (Love how she’s glowing up there) The flub was so cute.
As always Rita is a class act!
