Clue/Question:  The telemarketers would work until they – – –

Answer:  CALLED IT A DAY

Answer:  “FORE“ FOR FOUR

(Excellent golf pun!  We appear to have a new clue word in “fluff”.  Our great friend, ralis95, will have to update his world famous clue word database for this simple word.  All of the jumbles are coming up as new.  Expertly crafted answer letter layout.  Nifty cartoon.  Reminiscent of Caddyshack.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Clue/Question:  After their coffee grinder broke, business at the coffee shop – – –

Answer:  GROUND TO A HALT

(Ooh!  Really stinky pun.  No new clue words, but three new jumbles.  We’ve seen “phedt” before.  Once again, in just under a week, we’re seeing the clue word “depth”.  Another awesome answer letter layout.  Nothing obvious about it.  Fun cartoon of a hipster coffee shop.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 10/17/17

Visual Description:  When pigs fly!

GEZAL  =  GLAZE,  WATIA  =  AWAIT,  PNDORA  =  PARDON,  DUIEMM  =  MEDIUM   —   Giving us:  GETPNIM

Clue/Question:  To create the painting of the hog, the artist needed just the right – – –

Answer:  PIGMENT

(Marvelously stinky pun!  And, a great Jumble!  There might not have been any new clue words, but all of the jumbles did come up as new.  I don’t think that any of them were too tough.  I did see the word PANDORA for a few seconds.  It was just a name, but now it’s a product.  Right?  So, maybe it could sneak in as a “word”, if it were only six letters long.  The answer letter layout was swell.  Nothing obvious there.  The cartoon is great.  The hog farmer in his hip waders, and the snoozing piggy made for a very charming cartoon.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“The idea that no one is perfect is a view most commonly held by people with no grandchildren.”   —   Doug Larson

(I must be the exception to the rule, because while I dearly love my grandchildren, I no longer possess the patience necessary to fool myself into thinking that they are perfect.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
