“Man’s fear of ideas is probably the greatest dike holding back human knowledge and happiness.”   —   Morris Leopold Ernst

(Humans are comfort creatures.  They generally like what they think they already know.  And are afraid of the boat rockers.  They even call them derogatory names!  They would rather accept what they’re told without questioning.  But, you guys know yer uncle.  I say:  Question everything!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 09/14/19

 

Visual Description:  Pilfering procyons!

GIWHE  =  WEIGH,  NUPDO  =  POUND,  GENOLR  =  LONGER,  CASLIO  =  SOCIAL   —   Giving us:  EGHPDOGESCA

Clue/Question:  After the raccoons raided the henhouse, they enjoyed their – – –

Answer:  POACHED EGGS

(Now this is a classic stinky pun Jumble!  There’s no stretch of the imagination with this one.  Cut and dry, cute and funny.  I’m not a big fan of poached eggs, because I don’t like them runny.  But, I don’t care for them hard boiled either.  I prefer my eggs cooked outside of the shell.

No new clue words today.  All of the jumbles did come up as new though.  The only one to give me trouble was “genolr”.  But, it just took me a little longer.  The answer letter layout was a wonderful eleven letter jumble.  I don’t think it was obvious at all.  The biggest clue was probably the “I love them runny” line.

Really fun cartoon.  Very cute raccoons, and I like all the detail in the background.  The hens and chicks on the ground, the rooster on top of one of the henhouses, and the befuddled looking farmer.  A fine Saturday Jumble!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
