This is either way early or a few days late.

Instead of a Friday Funny, here's a Baby Boomer Quiz. I scored 100% on it. But I'm a trivia junky. I've even been accused of memorizing the cards from 'Trivial Pursuit'.
.
Its a damnable lie!!
.
Anyway, here's the quiz, the answers are in the Comments Section.
.

(Have a paper and pencil handy to record your answers. Your mind isn't as sharp as it once was!)

This is NOT a pushover test. It's a Baby Boomer era test!

There are
20 questions. Average score is 12 .
This one will be difficult for the
younger set. (DUDE!)

Have fun

When you forward this to your
friends/family,
Put your
score in the subject line and let them know your score.

Don't forget to forward it to

Good luck,
youngsters .

How could you miss #10? It's a classic! At forty-nine, I'm at the tail end of the baby boom, but I've been around long enough to get them all. What do I win?

A shit storm is brewing at the UN. Has it come down to this?

Schteveo said...

Rocky,
you win the satisfaction of knowing, that at 49, you're better educated than most of the world!

alan said...

I missed 17....but it was nagging at me when I did it.

I was thinking it was the Beetles that said never trust anyone over 30...but they were probably quoting Bob.
