Clue/Question:  When the owner of the calendar factory gave his employees a big bonus, it – – – 

Answer:  MADE THEIR DAY

(I guess this is a pun because the workers make days, weeks and months.  There were no new clue words today, but it looks like all of the jumbles are new.  The answer letter layout was a wonderful jumble.  The cartoon shows the boss holding a Jumble-a-Day desk calendar.  Do the guys sell these at their website???  Of course they do!!!  They certainly have plenty of material to do so.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“If you try and take a cat apart to see how it works, the first thing you have on your hands is a non-working cat.”   —   Douglas Adams

(This guy, Adams, died at age 49 from a heart attack!  He must have lived a very hard/wild life, because he looks ancient for 49, to me.  I’m 59, pushing 60, and I look at least 10 years younger than he did shortly before he kicked it.  I guess I should count my blessings!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
