You made me laugh out loud! Very funny!
Oh you’re just a couple of squares. (But cute!)
Looks like Ashen’s been using both the cream and the clear.
By the way, in case it wasn’t noticed in the fine print on the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament’s Web site, this year’s tournament will feature random drug testing of the top contestants.
