“I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.”   —   Robert Orben

(If your sense of humor has not been compromised by political correctness then you’ll appreciate Mr. Orben.  He’s been featured on the cryptoquote in the past, but I can’t recall the quote.  Anybody out there remember it???)   —   YUR

Visual Description:  Why the Iowa Caucuses don’t matter.

EFLNO  =  FELON,  KREPO  =  POKER,  OIMZEB  =  ZOMBIE,  VEITNS  =  INVEST   —   Giving us:  ONPOOMIT

Clue/Question:  The cows had no chance of winning the debate because everything they said was a . . .

Answer:  “MOO“ POINT

(Very cute.  I thought all the clue words were fun and well scrambled.  The answer letter layout didn’t give anything away.  And, I liked the pun of the word moot.  It’s one of those words that you never used to hear outside of a courtroom setting.  But, thanks to a couple of comic bits, on television – links provided below – the word has become a bit more mainstream.  The SNL one goes all the way back to 1984, and ironically shows how things seem to come around, over and over again.  And the Friends one is just silly, but fun.  Enjoy!)   —   YUR

PS.  If you think, like most people, that most SNL skits kind of suck these day – other than Weekend Update – take a look at this one.  It’s one of the funniest I’ve seen in years.   —   YUR
