Clue/Question:  The captain entertained the passengers with these.

Answer:  “FERRY“ TALES

(Very nice little pun.  Very good scrambling of the answer letters, too.  I think the clue words were well scrambled too, but I guess I was just in the zone this morning, as I had no trouble getting any of them.    There has long been some debate over which state can rightly claim the Statue of Liberty.  It’s in New York Harbor, but proximity-wise it’s closer to New Jersey.  There used to be signs and tee shirts that read something like:  New Jersey.  We Stand Behind The Lady!  But, Google and Bing won’t back me up on this.  Ff’n figures!   I bet some of my *Joisey* readers can back me up on this.  How ‘boudit?  Youzs knows whad ahm tawkin’ about?)   —   YUR
