Sunday Cryptoquote Spoiler – 09/29/19

“Not to know the events which happened before one was born, that is to remain always a boy.”   —   Cicero

(No one can know it all, but to use that lame excuse:  Oh, that was long before I was born is just not going to cut it.  Not if you want to be considered an adult.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Clue/Question:  He’d passed out while shopping, and they didn’t have the – – –

Pre-Answer:  Three Words  (8-letters)  (4-letters)  (3-letters)

Answer:  FAINTEST IDEA WHY

(But, the EMTs have their fingers on the pulse of things.  They are used to working under pressure.  They will get to the heart of the matter in no time.  If need be, they can fast-track him to the ER.

All six of the clue words are familiar old friends.  But today, all of the jumbles have come up as new!  Usually, we have a mix of something old and something new.  The answer letter layout was an interesting fifteen letter jumble.  I thought it hid the final answer beautifully.  The cartoon and dialog were the big clues, for me.

Great mall scene cartoon.  I blame the wife!  The poor guy.  We can’t shop like you girls can!  We need to find a pretzel, or Cinn-a-bon, or ice cream every now and then.  His blood pressure is too low.  He’s hypoglycemic!   You girls are just trying to kill us.  Have you no sense of mercy, ladies???  LOL!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
