Clue/Question: When they asked for a room, the (rude) hotel clerk was . . .
Answer: PREOCCUPIED
(Clue words not so difficult today, but the scrambling of the answer letters was good. I’d like to see this clerk get fired. Far too many clerks and cashiers – what-have-yous – are so self-centered, so filled with this false sense of entitlement, that they’ve turned the customer is always right into the customer has no right to bother my lazy ass.) — YUR

Hey, Marc!
I always enjoy them. I just enjoy them more when there is some element of a challenge. I’m hoping that my little critiques help to keep the creators on their toes. This is a very simple little blog, but the daily hits keep increasing nicely, so I must be doing something right. My social commentaries, on the other hand, are quite another story! Thanks for caring, and keep on reading!
