Jumble Spoiler – 03/02/20

Visual Description:  Backstage with the big guy.

FEHTT  =  THEFT,  BOIRT  =  ORBIT,  LREEMY  =  MERELY,  KHESNA  =  SHAKEN   —   Giving us:  HETORBTRELYSHE

Clue/Question:  When 4-foot-10-inch Danny DeVito was called to the film set, he said he’d – – –

Answer:  BE THERE SHORTLY

(What other way could he be there?  A good stinky pun.  And, one I hope the guys got permission from Mr. DeVito!   Aah!  He’s a public figure, and part of his comic persona is his shortness.

None of the clue words are new today.   Two of the jumbles came up as new, but we’ve definitely seen both “fehtt” and “boirt” before.  The answer letter layout was an unusually long – for a Monday – fourteen letter jumble.  I don’t think it gave anything away.

Fine dressing room scene cartoon.  And a very fine depiction of Danny DeVito.  He’s been in television and movies since 1975.  45 years is an impressive run.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
