QUOTE QUIZ: Two of our favorite RTS features are quotations from
famous people and quizzes. Today, we get to combine the two.

Our recent edition of Pennsylvania magazine contained a quiz,
“What’s My Line?” by publisher Al Holliday.

He writes, “We have collected a number of quotes, both real and
imagined, of people in Pennsylvania over the years. Can you match
the names of the people to the quotes?”

He also included a list of a number of people who might have
been the authors of the quotes – making it a little bit easier.

1. “Took us four years, but we finally finished drawing the
line.”

2. “Thanks for granting us honorary citizenship.”

3. “Won’t you be my neighbor?”

4. “If elected, I pledge to get the farmers out of the mud.”

5. “A penny saved is a penny earned.”

6. “Not fair – I pitched a perfect game for 12 innings and still
lost it.”

7. “Let’s call our new store something numerical, like a 5 and
10 cent store.”

8. “I am honored to have been the first woman to be elected to a
statewide political office.”

9. “My murals were planned to depict William Penn’s life.”

10. “Leave it to me, General, and I will get these troops ready
for the spring offensive.”

11. “I am setting aside two million dollars to build a new
boarding school for orphans.”

TODAY’S GRIPE: Something is seriously wrong when it’s easier –
far easier – to get a half-gallon of whiskey than it is to get a
five-day supply of cold medicine. You think we’re kidding? On a
recent trip to the drug store, we were required to show our
driver’s license to get a medicine which contains a decongestant.
It was available only from behind the pharmacy counter, and not
only did we have to show the driver’s license but the information
off it – name, address, license number etc. – was copied into some
kind of register. And, then, we had to sign for it!
