Clue/Question:  When Richard Ger starred in the movie “Pretty Woman”, he was – – –

Answer:  PAID HANDSOMELY

(The wimens is gonna hate me if I calls dis a stinky pun!  I always thought Ricky Gere was kindova shorter, pretty-boy version of Clint Eastwood.  They both have those squinty, beady eyes.  I’m sure the ladies – in the case of Gere at least – would argue that they’re smiling/bedroom eyes.  But, I can’t really say anything bad about a guy who grew up about an hour down I-90 from me.  Apparently, he was born in Philly, but raised in Syracuse, NY.  We were practically neighbors!  LOL!  But, he woulda been one of the big kids, considering he’s eight years older than me.

All of today’s clue words are familiar old friends.  Although, all of today’s jumbles are all newbies!  The kids today would just call them “noobs”.  None of them tripped me up any.  The answer letter layout was a very impressive fourteen letter jumble!  It hid the final answer very well.  My first impulse was that the first word might be MADE.  But, IHONYSPLAD left me scratching my head.  It did help see PAID though, and then I got the pun.

Even though the clue/question clearly states “Pretty Woman”, I was getting more of an “Internal Affairs” vibe.  The woman talking to the other guy looks, to me, more like Nancy Travis than Julia Roberts.  The guy looks a little like Howard Cosell!  LOL!    But, I guess that could be Larry Miller.  Fun Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
