I loved your Tale of Two Dachshunds. Please see my answer posted late on the previous jumble!

Today's solution jumped up at me before I started on the clue words. If anyone needs a hint, I am reminded of the Pakistani head waiter named Jhee who always recommended female chicken to all his regular patrons who ordered fowl for their main course. They developed a liking for it & regularly asked for a taste of hen per Jhee.

This jumble was for some reason, not as easy for me as Tuesday normally is. I had to think a lot about that first clue, then d'oh! And the solution kept eluding me until I left and came back for the third time. But I could not agree more with the statement it makes, or regret its truth more. Not even funny, because the topic is so important.

Owen, for what they're worth, I'm sending good thoughts your way.

Thank you for the kind response to my dachshund story, Ol'Man Keith. I was able to find yesterday's Jumble and really appreciated it. It was, of course, your own sweet dog story that triggered my tale. It took me a minute to get your funny joke in response to this morning Jumble solution--thanks for that too.

I had to work a little on the first Jumble word but got all the others quickly. And at first I wasn't sure I'd get the solution, but once I put in the OF in the middle, the rest fell into place. Delightful Jumble with a cool complicated image of the little boy's science project.

Hope you're feeling okay this morning, Owen, and hope you have a good day.

Dang, I had a good tale for today, but anxiety kept me from poemizing it. I was supposed to be transferred to a nursing facility, but snags ensued so I'm still in the hospital. It was about Dr. Moreau opening a liposuction clinic, and then selling the fat extracted to a power company as a waist of energy.

Anyway, please work the jigsaw puzzle at Jigidi / "Sunset".

Sandyanon said...

Maybe you'll get to use the ideas later, Owen.
That is a terrible pun, lol!!! I'd have loved to see it in a poem.

Ok, I worked The jigsaw. Lovely poem.
I had a lot of difficulty, because apparently my little tablet had a problem showing all the pieces. Persevered.

Since everyone solved with no problem Wilburforce isn't needed to sub for Owen. Owen, I too hope all is well with you .

I also second OMK's liking of the two daschund story. It would indeed make a delightful Rom-Com.
