Visual Description:  What I went through on Tuesday!

FARWE  =  WAFER,  KUYYC  =  YUCKY,  CNERTH  =  TRENCH,  RUWORB  =  BURROW   —   Giving us:  AEYTHBR

Clue/Question:  He attached the wires for the EKG quickly.  He knew their positions – – –

Answer:  BY HEART

(I say “went through”, sarcastically, because EKGs are virtually painless, except for the removal of the sticky electrodes.  It’s nothing like The 40-Year-Old Virgin or anything, but they do yank out some chest hairs!  All of today’s clue words are old favorites.  Although, I’m a little puzzled as to how baby-talk, such as “yucky”, is a legitimate word.  And, I have to wonder.  Does a burro ever “burrow”???  Hmm.  Three of the jumbles are coming up as new, with only “kuyyc” having definitely been used before.  The answer letter layout was also a splendid jumble.  The cartoon came off as just a little creepy, for me.  I don’t think it was intentional, but the patient kind of looks like a double amputee.  I was fortunate enough to have a very attractive lady take my EKG.  I’ve known her for years though.  But, boy!  Was she ever fast!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
