“Say and do something positive that will help the situation; it doesn’t take any brains to complain.”   —   Robert A. Cook

(It doesn’t take any brains to pretend that everything is fine too.  There is such a thing as constructive criticism.  And, protest and dissent are valuable actions for changing public perception and public policy.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 04/15/16

Visual Description:  The Taxman Cometh?

RAWYE  =  WEARY,  DIGRI  =  RIGID,  SANXYT  =  SYNTAX,  GUHACT  =  CAUGHT   —   Giving us:  ERISHT

Clue/Question:  What does your money become when you combine “THE” and “IRS”?

Answer:  The opposite of YOURS . . . THEIRS

(Cute.  Appropriate.  Although, you actually have until April 18 this year.  Some state holiday somewhere is giving us all a little reprieve.  Not sure if “syntax” is new, but the others are definitely old favorites.  Two of the jumbles appear to be new.  The answer letter layout was fine.  Standard kitchen table tax time cartoon.  Be well and do good, friends.  File your tax returns . . . or file for an extension.)   —   YUR 

PS.  Syntax is definitely a new clue word!  It needs to be added to the ralis95 clue word database.   —   YUR
