Answer: FLAT BROKE
(Now, that’s a good stinky pun! Have you ever noticed how many people say “broke” when the should be saying “broken”? It’s really annoying. I’m far from being the Grammar Police, but certain obvious offenses do irk me to no end. Oh, well. There were no new clue words today, but once again all the jumbles are coming up as new. What up, Hoyty? Anyway, none of them stumped me. The answer letter layout was cryptic enough, but the whole set up made the answer fairly obvious . . . again. Quality, but standard fare, cartoon. It’s much more fun being snarky, folks! That’s about it. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
