Cryptoquote Spoiler – 08/14/10

“Tact is the art of making people guests feel at home when that’s really where you wish they were.”   —   George E. Bergman

(Clever quote.  But this is yet another person who has – somehow – made himself quotable, but has also avoided any biographic info from reaching this here interweb!  Google and Bing take you to his quotes . . .  and then to Ingmar Bergman and other non-related places.  Very strange, indeed.)   —   YUR

Clue/Question:  What the pudgy diner did at the end of the buffet line.

Answer:  GAINED “WAIT“

(The Hungry Heifer?  That was Norm and Cliff’s favorite cheap eatery on “Cheers”. That takes me way back!  What a great show that was.  Great characters.  Great comedy.  Nice little pun today.  Clue words were pretty good, and the answer letters were nicely scrambled.  It’s the weekend, folks!  Be good, do good.)   —   YUR
