Clue/Question:  Calling Pluto a planet will become a . . .

Answer:  DISTANT MEMORY

(Very good!  I liked it, and thought it was fairly challenging!  No new clue words, but I really liked the jumbling of “radish” and “joyful”.  The other words came to me instantly.  The answer letter layout didn’t give me a clue.  I played around with the second word being MATTER, until I realized that the first word was probably supposed to be DISTANT, but I didn’t have all the right letters.  So, I scrapped MATTER, checked off the letters for DISTANT, and saw the letters for MEMORY.  And then, I got the joke!  Duh!  Pluto was the most distant planet in our solar system . . . when it was a planet.  Now, it’s referred to as a dwarf planet.  Poor Pluto.  It’s kinda like finding out you were adopted.  You’re still you, but you’re not who you thought you were.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
