I would have invited Chuck to dinner. He probably got a lot of invitations, now that I think of it. Your improvisation was wonderful. I think this was the funniest of the analogies: <<<John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met. (Russell Beland, Springfield)>>>

Blue, you will be happy to know that the Washington Post still runs that contest. But not on Sundays. Some weekday or other; I don't remember which. And maybe it's just once a month, rather than once a week. But I laugh out loud every time I happen on one. The theme is always different, but always delightfully cuckoo, and the (published) answers always wonkily zany (or zanily wonky). I must remember to stay on the lookout for the next contest, and post the results. Joan
