(Tough) Sunday Cryptoquote Spoiler – 12/06/09

“Psychiatry enables us to correct our faults by confessing our parent’s shortcomings.“   — Laurence Peter

(I was almost going to give up on this.  I was pretty certain from the onset that “k” was “s”, but entertained the idea of it being “e”.  The “bj” combination in “correct” had me thrown for a LONG time, especially considering “bnj” to be “the”, “are”, “not”, “for”, “who”, “why”, “how”, “art” and “act”.  Also, and I don’t know if every newspaper ran it this way but, the coded word for parents’ was split up into fp- on one line and jadlk’ on the next.  The toughest – overall – Sunday word games that I’ve ever come across!) —   YUR

Cryptoquote Spoiler – 12/02/09

“A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.“   — George Bernard Shaw

(This must be the mantra of Christopher P. St Lawrence.  Just ask the good *Peter* people of Ramapo, NY.  The *Paul* people, of course, will have no comment . . . or call you some kinda name!) —   YUR

Cryptoquote Spoiler – 12/01/09

“A child of five would understand this.  Send someone to fetch a child of five.“   — Groucho Marx

(It took me quite some time to gain traction on this one!  Did anyone else have trouble on this one?  -  This is the first Groucho Quote since I’ve been posting these!) —   YUR

Cryptoquote Spoiler – 11/30/09

“A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.“   — Lou Holtz

Sunday Cryptoquote Spoiler – 11/29/09

“Set your course by the stars, not by the lights of every passing ship.“   — Gen. Omar N. Bradley

“Every one of us needs to show how much we care for each other and, in the process, care for ourselves.“   — Princess Diana
