Cryptoquote Spoiler – 01/19/19

“Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live.”   —   Robert Kennedy

(More than a little ironic, I’d say.  Huh, folks?  Brother Teddy – apparently – used it as a guide, because at least he made it to 77 years.  Jack only made it to 46, and himself to 42.  It is a noble sentiment, but he paid the ultimate price for his nobility.  Why do they always have it out for people of vision?  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 01/19/19

Visual Description:  Guys DO make passes at girls who wear glasses.

KIRBE  =  BIKER,  YEXPO  =  EPOXY,  EFLYER  =  FREELY,  GELHIS  =  SLEIGH   —   Giving us:  BEREOYFRESEH

Clue/Question:  Her new glasses were ready and were right – – –

Answer:  “BE–FOR“ HER EYES

(A little different for a Jumble pun, but I got it right away.  I guess I just saw where they were going with it.  I just picked up my new glasses this week, and there is definitely a period of adjustment going on.  I might have to bring them in for an adjustment.

All of today’s clue words were familiar old friends.  No need for ralis95 to take any action.  However, all of the jumbles are coming up as new.  For me, “efyler” was the challenging one.  The others I saw right away.  Nice 12-letter answer letter layout jumble.  I might have switched “biker” and “epoxy”, so the BE wouldn’t have stood out so much.

The cartoon was a nice optician/optometrist’s shop.  I liked the name:  Hocus Focus!  Lots of fun.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
