Jumble Spoiler – 04/04/18

GAMIE  =  IMAGE,  ANLCA  =  CANAL,  NKYSNI  =  SKINNY,  DIRHEN  =  HINDER   —   Giving us:  AGECALSNNHDE

Clue/Question:  After learning that their regular bowling alley was closed, they – – –

Answer:  CHANGED LANES

(Okay!  One of those literal/figurative puns.  They work.  All of today’s clue words are old favorites, but three of the jumbles came up as new.  We’ve seen “gamie” before.  I really liked “nkysni”.  I didn’t have to back into it, but it made me think.

The answer letter layout was a thing of beauty.  There was nothing obvious about it, in my opinion.  The clue/question, along with the great cartoon, set up the gag very nicely.

I liked that the couple are both wearing bowling shirts.  And, is that a Duff Brewery delivery truck?  LOL!  Priceless.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  Remembering the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  What a sad day that was.  He was a great man.  A man of peaceful protest.  Not like these ANTIFA knuckleheads.  “World peace through nonviolent means is neither absurd nor unattainable”.  That’s what Dr. King was about.   —   YUR
