(Seen only bits and pieces of this movie.  It’s got a great cast.  I guess it’s just a little too silly for me to go out my way to watch it.  Maybe some day.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Answer:   A GREAT IDEA

(It’s got kind of a Monty Python and the Holy Grail vibe to it.  Right?  I got the first two clue words right away, but struggled mightily with three and four.  Today’s jumblings of “parish” and “tuxedo” were new to me.  I had to back into both of them.  I suspected “parish”, but needed confirming.   I was completely clueless on “tuxedo”.  Even though the answer letter layout was . . . great, I didn’t have any difficulty figuring out the answer.  Nice Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
