Cryptoquote Spoiler – 04/18/20

“There ain’t no way to find out why a snorer can’t hear himself snore.”   —   Mark Twain

(Very funny.  Most snorers are even in a kind of denial, because they don’t hear themselves snore.  I used to snore, when I was heavier.  And, for years I didn’t quite realize I was snoring, but I would frequently jump out of bed, thinking that a stranger was in the room!  It took me quite a while to figure out that it was just one of my louder outbursts.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 04/18/20

Visual Description:  Jeff and Kathy try some magic mushrooms.

ORJEK  =  JOKER,  MICPR  =  CRIMP,  PTYREO  =  POETRY,  TTTEAL  =  TATTLE   —   Giving us:  JERCPPOTTE

Clue/Question:  The dogs learned to use tools so they could work on their – – –

Answer:  PET PROJECT

(A very cute stinky pun!  A little bit of a different Jumble though.  Usually, the anthropomorphic animals are separate from the cartoons with people.  But, I guess when the kids were away at college Jeff and Kathy could . . . experiment.

We have seen all of today’s clue words before.  However, all of the jumbles are coming up as new, for me.  No stumpers for me today.  The answer letter layout was a very good ten letter jumble.  Nothing jumped off the page for me.  I wouldn’t be surprised if some of you struggled some to get the final answer.

Cool cartoon, with lots of detail.  The one dog, wearing a cap, holding the blueprints.  The other dog about to post a Home Sweet Home sign, on the newly completed doghouse.  Lots of tools!  A box of nails, a circular saw, a hammer, tape measure, and a hand saw.  And, Jeff holding his trusty I ❤ Jumble mug!  Plenty of fun!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
