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

    They just make me mad. That’s why they put the word CROSS in crossword.

    It’s not the words, it’s the clues!

    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.

    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.

    Joke time:

    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?”

    I don’t do crosswords, I do word searches instead.

    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!”
