“Dancing:  The highest intelligence in the freest body.”   — Isadora Duncan

(Funny thing.  When Phil Collins’ “Invisible Touch” first came out I thought that the refrain lyrics were:  She’s in the hands of Isadora Duncan.  When I begin to lose all my marbles – for good – I’ll probably go back to singing it that way!) —   YUR

Clue/Question:  What the expensive deer hunting trip amounted to.

Answer:  A COUPLE OF “BUCKS”

(Not bad!  But, the cartoon has them saying it cost them “$100 a pound”!  At 200 – 300 pounds apiece (undressed)  that would be quite expensive.  Field dressed would be 156 – 234 pounds, apiece.  Still very dear – no pun intended.  And, if they take it all the way down to “edible meat weight” you’re still looking at 86 – 129 pounds, apiece.  At a $100 a pound?!?  I think I’ll stick to the Wendy’s Value Menu, thank you!) —   YUR
