You can catch us most weeks here at the Studebaker Theater in Chicago, and you can come see us on the road.

For example, we will be in Savannah, Georgia on March 26th.

That's next week.

Come out and see us, Savannah, for tickets and information to all our live events.

Hi, you're on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.

Percocet, Pennsylvania?

Is that where the phrase perky came from?

Because you sound excited.

Oh, yeah, sure.

Percocet.

Yeah, everybody knows that.

Sarah, welcome to the show.

Bill Curtis right here is going to read you three news-related limericks with the last word or phrase missing from each.

If you can fill in that last word or phrase correctly in two limericks, you'll be a winner.

Ready to play?

Yep.

Let's do it.

Here is your first limerick.

Booze, yes.
