Clue/Question:  He told his wife there wouldn’t be a long line, but he – – –

Answer:  STOOD CORRECTED

(A great, stinky pun!  I’m betting some of you struggled to get this one.  It took me a few seconds to get it, but I was impressed, so I showed it to my daughter.  She didn’t spend a lot of time with it, but she didn’t see the answer.  All of the clue words are old favorites, but all of the jumbles came up as new.  The answer letter layout was a masterful, cryptic jumble.  The cartoon provided the best clues.  All the people standing, and the wife with the angry “I told you so” expression on her face.  Nice work, guys.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
