Clue/Question:  When they reduced the cost of skydiving lessons, customers loved the – – –

Answer:  FALLING PRICES

(Good one!  When you’re free falling at up to 120 MPH you don’t really smell anything, so it would be tough to call this a stinky pun.  I’ve only done it once, and I’m not sure when/if I might do it again, but it was a blast.  I’m sure that the price has increased quite a bit since 2005, but the experience was worth it.  When you’re a novice you really should do a tandem jump, with a pro attached to your back.  Once you get the hang of it, solo jumps are much cheaper.  I’ve got a nephew who’s jumped about 100 times!

All of today’s clue words are already on the ralis95 clue word database.  But surprisingly all of the jumbles are coming up as new.  I was able to see them all immediately this morning.  The answer letter layout was a thrilling thirteen letter jumble.  I thought that it disguised the final answer beautifully.  The clue/question was just the perfect setup, in my opinion.

Great cartoon of the jump plane, the two paying customers, and perhaps the instructor.  Looking out the door there appears to be three, maybe four, folks who have already jumped and are in free fall.  That fourth one could be a bird I suppose.  They’ll all be landing somewhere out in some rural area.  I like that sign by the foot of the door.  They could add to it:  It’s a Real Doozy!  LOL!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
