“My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.”   —   Errol Flynn

(This one – literally – gave me headaches!  The double letters in “gross” and in the author’s name threw me for a loop!  No single letter words!  No “the”, “are”, “and”, “one”, “for” or “but”!  I thought the LX was TO for the longest time, and also thought the U was the S.  I finally just said that YGPWW was DRESS.  Then Errol came into view — somehow!  And . . . and . . . this was the hardest one for me in ages!  Very amusing quote, though!)   —   YUR

Clue/Question:  The Minneapolis beverage maker hoped to have a big success with this.

Answer:  “MINI–SODA“

(Although, this mid-west state likely calls it “pop”!  The guy kind of reminds me of my Uncle Steve!  Sorry this is so late.  I don’t have much else to say.  I’m bummed because I couldn’t crack the Cryptoquote code, today.  I usually post them around the same time, and I’ve just been spinning my wheels trying to get this one.  It’s days like this where I start to feel like Charlie Gordon, of Flowers for Algernon.  Looks like I’m going to have to poll the audience!  Crap!)   —   YUR
