Science has not yet found a cure for the pun.”   —   Robert Byrne

(Wikipedia has like 13 different Robert, Bob and Bobby Byrnes, but we’ve had him before.  If you’re a word puzzle fan – like me – then you don’t need no cure, for puns!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

There are two kinds of people, those who finish what they start and so on.”   —   Robert Byrne

(Very clever!  However, there are too many Bob Byrnes out there for me to choose from.  So, I’m posting a picture of a woman who did finish something!  Geraldine “Jerrie” Mock, the first woman to complete a solo airplane trip around the world!  And, she completed her flight on this day in 1964.  So, hats off to this determined lady!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Science has not yet found a cure for the pun.”   —   Robert Byrne

(It’s a good thing I took the time to look this one up.  When I was solving this, my first thoughts on the last word were either FUN or SUN.  But, both the F and the S were already in use.  So, with my fairly linear mode of thinking I went to GUN.  I thought it was some kind of political statement.  As I was reading all the clever Robert Byrne quotes, I was thinking why was this one so devoid of humor!  So, I typed in the entire “quote” into Google . . . and nothing came up.  Then it hit me!  I keep forgetting that so many people – erroneously – believe that puns are the lowest form of wit.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
