“I truly believe that everything that we do and everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose.”   —   Marla Gibbs

(Whether it’s for a specific purpose, or not, I do believe that these are the things that shape who we are.  We are the net sum of all our experiences and relationships, both big and small.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

SYPHU  =  PUSHY,  DURFA  =  FRAUD,  NERROY  =  ORNERY,  ITOXCE  =  EXOTIC   —   Giving us:  PSUDOROT

English: The Bad Lieutenants training in Langar doing Vertical Formation Skydiving (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Answer:  DROP–OUTS

(I love a nice ironic pun!  I bet that most of you would never have guessed that “pushy” is a new clue word.  I was a little surprised myself!  Our good friend, ralis95, will need to update his world famous clue word database . . . again.  I was going to tease him about being occasionally “ornery”, but I think I’ve done that gag before.  So, we’ll leave it at the new clue word.  The other three jumbles also came up as new.  The answer letter layout is another fine jumble, but it didn’t slow me from figuring out the answer.  Great cartoon.  I’ve been skydiving once, but it was the tandem thing.  It’s a great rush!  I wouldn’t mind doing it again.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
