WELCOME to Tuesday December 18, 2018.

I have always felt that laughter in the face of reality is probably the finest sound there is and will last until the day when the game is called on account of darkness. In this world, a good time to laugh is any time you can. — Linda Ellerbee

Part of my job as a 911 dispatcher is to interrogate callers who are in various states of panic so I can send the appropriate emergency equipment. One day a woman called to say that a family member had fallen and needed to go to a hospital. After finding out where she lived and assuring her that the paramedics would arrive shortly, I asked her, “Do you know what caused the fall?”
“No,” the woman nervously replied. “What?”😱
“What do they call you?”
“They call me MISTER Tibbs!”
In this scene, bigoted police chief of a small southern town Bill Gillespie (played wonderfully by Rod Steiger) is questioning a black man named Virgil Tibbs (Sidney Poitier), who is suspected of a local murder. Gillespie is suspicious of all the money in Tibbs’ wallet and wants to know where he got it. When Tibbs says it is from his job, Gillespie wants to know what that is. When Tibbs says he is a police detective in Philadelphia, PA, Gillespie is dumbfounded. Then he asks line one and an incensed Tibbs replies with line two. Tibbs is in the area to visit his mother, but his supervisor back in Philadelphia directs him to stay there briefly and help Gillespie solve this case.
“You do that, I’m gonna tell him you’re seeing somebody else while he’s on the stage.”
“I have two words for you: green card.”
Inside each set of the following words, there are a pair of smaller words. By putting & between them, lo & behold, you’ll make a familiar phrase. For example, “Thighbone/Swallowtail” conceals “High & Low.”
2. Come & Go
3. Hill & Dale
4. Trial & Error
5. Show & Tell
Take the given words, and by moving a single letter from one word to the other, make a pair of synonyms, or near synonyms. For example, given: Boast – Hip, move the ‘s’ from ‘Boast’ to ‘Hip’ creating two synonyms: Boat – Ship.
1. Burn – Bead
2. Rid – Tripe
3. Grove – Rout
4. Charm – Rush
5. Cream – Sweep
