At Our Worst

BILL KURTIS, BYLINE: From NPR and WBEZ Chicago, this is WAIT, WAIT ...DON'T TELL ME, the NPR News quiz. I'm Bill Kurtis and here's your house at the Chase Bank Auditorium in downtown Chicago, Peter Sagal.

PETER SAGAL, HOST:

Thank you, Bill. Thanks everybody.

(APPLAUSE)

SAGAL: This week we're going back and taking stock of what we did to get to this point.

KURTIS: Oh, it's like an intervention. I've had lots of those.

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: Kind of like that, Bill. Listeners tell us they look forward to the Listener Limerick Challenge toward the end of each week's show, but they also tell us they don't look forward to when I preview the game - usually with a terrible pun. Here are some of the best, or perhaps if you like, the worst limerick promos.
