"Comic Catch Phrases" Trivia

Joyce Remy, IlluminAge Communication Partners

As we read in "It's No Joke! Humor Promotes Healthy Aging" in this issue of Seniors Digest, healthcare professionals advise seniors to add more laughter to life...but where do you begin?

To add a bit of nostalgia to the mix, get together with friends to watch a classic comedy movie or TV series. Or listen to an audiotape or podcast while you're cleaning the house or taking your daily walk. The Seattle Public Library and King County Library System both have a good selection; if your local branch doesn't have your favorite program, you can reserve a copy of any item in the system and it will be sent to your branch.

This month's trivia quiz features 10 famous taglines used by classic radio and television comedians. Can you match the famous phrase with the humorist known for saying it? Print out your own copy and give your brain a workout!
