Answer: CHARGED
(Throw the book at the scumbag! These leeches are making life more difficult for just about everybody. I heard this morning that they even breached Home Depot’s system. Enough already.
There may be a new clue word in “aback”. It’s not in my ralis95 soft copy of 4/30/13, nor my hard copy of 12/31/13. After that . . . I couldn’t tell you. All the jumbling appears to be new. The answer letter layout was fine. It’s not easy hiding a seven letter word, especially when the cartoon and clue/question are so leading. The clerk thought it was funny when the perp was buying five tires, but not that the credit card read Mrs. Nussbaum. That is one observant clerk! LOL. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Don’t get me started on scum bags! Is nothing safe?????? YIKES, the shape this world is in. But, thank goodness not everyone is that way nor is everyone self-centered. There are still good people in the world. Well, like you Unc! 🙂
Grand puzzler. And this puzzler could fall into one of those dumb crook stories. Using a woman’s charge card without a wig or dress. I caught that they seemed to think the five tires were a strange purchase and not the male with a female card. To me five tires makes sense. Don’t you also have to buy a spare??!! 🙂 LL
Mrs. Nussbaum, would be a shout out to one of the great movies of all time…The Jerk.
You want a fill-up, Mrs. Nussbaum?
I’m Mr. Nussbaum.
Yeah, that’s his wife’s card.
-His wife’s card? -Yeah, l’ll vouch for him.
Okay, as long as we got a voucher.
Classic!
“The Jerk” is a great movie! But, I don’t think I’ve seen it since it first came out. At least, not in it’s entirety. The two scenes I remember most are: the one where the sniper is trying to kill him, at the gas station where he worked, but he’s only hitting the cans of motor oil. You THINK he’s beginning to realize that someone’s shooting at him, but he starts screaming that: *these cans are defective!* The other scene is when he’s being rejected, and he’s saying: *I don’t need you. All I need is this . . .* And then he starts collecting all this goofy stuff that he walks out with.
And of course, his classic opening line of “I was born a poor black child.”
Good stuff, Jeff.
