Happy Birthday, Henny Youngman
“Take my wife — please!” Comedian Henny Youngman, the king of the one-liners, would have been 105 today. Celebrate by sharing your favorite Henny quip, for example: “My wife said to me, ‘For our anniversary I want to go somewhere I’ve never been before.’ I said, ‘Try the kitchen!’ “
Or this one: “When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.” Ba-dum-bum. Who’s up for a Laugh-a-Minute Cocktail?
