You get two of yesterday’s papers. Copy the answers from today’s solution in one. Take the blank one and a ball point pen on the train. Drive your seatmate nuts. The NYT works best but Boston is almost as good.
The Pope is working on a crossword puzzle, and he asks a cardinal for help with the last word; “It’s four letters, blank-U-N-T, and the clue is ‘a certain type of woman.’”
At first the cardinal is understandably nervous, but then he thinks and says, “Aunt. A-U-N-T.”
“Thank you,” says the Pope, “By the way, do you have an eraser?”
Sherlock, that’s not a bad joke, but I don’t think it adds anything by having it be the Pope and a Cardinal. Mind you, I’m not OFFENDED by that, it just doesn’t seem relevant.
But it reminds me of this one:
A man is about to be knighted by the King, but is told he must first answer three questions, to see if he is a true gentleman. The King asks “One: What is a four letter word for ‘hooters’?”, and the man answers “Owls”. “Correct! What is a four letter word meaning ‘intercourse’?” “Talk.” “Correct! What is it that a man does on two legs, a dog does on three legs, and a woman does sitting down?” “Shakes hands.” “Correct again!”, says the King. “Well,” asks the man, “do I get to be a knight?” “I guess so,” was the response, “I got to be King, and I missed all three!”

The cacti make an approving audience…. Poor Broomie; that’s why I rarely do crossword puzzles.

WE always do our crosswords in pen…. though sometimes they get a little messy it does make it more interesting!

It would have been funnier if Gaylord had shouted the answer in Broomie’s face.
