Clue/Question:  What it can take to put up with bad manners.

Answer:  GOOD ONES

(Not too tough, today.  Some all-around good scrambling.  I especially like seeing words like “ardor”.  Not your everyday kind of common word!  I’d like to say that good manners triumph over bad ones, but lately it seems that insults, vitriol and negativity has a much broader influence on the public at large.  More on that later.  Hopefully, we’ll see the pendulum swing the other way, very soon!  Be good, do good, friends.)   — YUR

“I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known.”   — Walt Disney

(Whoa, Walt!  Really?  I wonder how Lillian felt about his saying this?  My first Walt Disney quote and it has to be an odd one.  If he’d said *person* instead of *woman* I think I’d appreciate it more.  But, *woman*???  I might put Betty Boop, Betty Rubble or Blondie Bumstead up against some real women – not my sweet Ms. Boom, of course – but never a . . . a rodent!)   — YUR
