Clue/Question:  How Jeff Knurek kills time while while waiting in line at the bank.

Answer:  WITH DRAWING

(Today, Jeff is his very own “bonus clue”!  Jeff Knurek, of course, is the cartoonist end of the Jumble.  Looks like he’s working on one for next week, or so.  Today’s answer made for a nice banking pun.  You actually have to make it to the window – or an ATM – to execute a withdrawal, but the general connection should have been apparent to all.  It also looks like Jeff is wearing his trusty WILCO shirt.  All around great scrambling today.  Nothing exotic about any of the clue words.  A tip of the hat to Mr. Hoyt.  Nice going, cuz.  Boy, yesterday it seems that a lot of people had trouble getting “iguana”!  I counted over a 140 various queries on that scrambled word.  That’s big. I didn’t watch the NCAA games yesterday, but it looks like the UCONN v. Arizona game and the Butler v. Florida games were great ones.  Tiny Butler making the Final Four for the second year in a row is pretty impressive.  Unless VCU pulls off some kind of miracle today, over #1 Kansas, it’s doubtful that Butler will be able to get to the championship game.  But, one never knows.  I’m still holding out for a Battle of the Ks! Be good, do good, friends.)   — YUR
