Help and Solution to the Daily Jumble Puzzle!
Good Morning, Everyone… 🎯AN ARROW MISS? 🎯
🎶 You can do what you want to do…You can say what you want to say..You can think what you think you want….It doesn’t matter anyway…IT’S NOT FUNNY ANYMORE…🎶 …”It’s Not Funny Anymore” – Deacon Blue 1989 https://tinyurl.com/33d9778r
🎯The comic’s name is JUNIOR, he dabbles with GUITAR,
He wished he could be better…’cause he hasn’t gotten far…
His FAMILY are well aware no ROCKET scientist he,
Supporting him the best they can with his quirks and ennui…
He is the ELDEST of their brood, they know that he’s been spoiled,
(And KEYPAD doesn’t fit…so it’s back to where blood is boiled)…
The veteran comic here today? Can’t blame him that he spoke..
Steal an act in the same club? Then say…CAN’T YOU TAKE A JOKE?🎯
There’s nothing new about the arrow-through-the-head prop…The comedian who pops into my HEAD is Steve Martin, https://tinyurl.com/2s35bxk3 but I’m sure there were many before him…But when you’re young, and new to a Comedy Club, and you’re aware that an older comedian is already using something as part of his act…it’s no LAUGHING matter…That CLOWNing around? The older comedian’s right…There’s BIG SHOES to fill when you’re the new kid on the block…and our guy Junior here needs to clean up his ACT…
So…JEST 11 days ago, https://tinyurl.com/yd83zcsw we found ourselves at “The Comedy Panel” WITnessing a budding comedian trying his hand at stand-up. Today, another…though with a different slant. Today, we’re at the Comedy Club, “HUMOR US”, and we find that a young comedian, Junior, has made it a POINT to SPEAR-HEAD his act WIT a prop that’s been part of an older comedian, Don TICKLES’ act for years. And suffice to say, it’s not tickling Don’s FUNNY bone…In fact, feeling he’s been robbed, he’s so I-RATE that he confronts Junior just as he’s about to take the stage…But Junior, instead of acquiescing, just LAUGHS it off…or ON…whatever the case may be…And answers FLIP-(pantly)…(and) WILSON see how that goes over! His retort? “Twice as funny” = DOUBLE and…”CAN’T YOU TAKE A JOKE”? https://tinyurl.com/ntcay8ye … And “what we‘ve got here…(besides) failure to communicate”, is a DOUBLE question. PUNNY how that PLAYED out….
Jeff’s💎Gems? Obviously both our comedians, (sans glasses), have an oddly AMUSEing, familiar look about them…but I’m not going to put into WORDS any GRAPHIC details…And maybe, just maybe, that might be Sears https://tinyurl.com/vchcw9dn at the mic…She’s SPEAR-HEADed quite a few stand-up routines herself…
So…There you have it Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And I’ll leave you WIT this bit of humor that I remember hearing at a Comedy Club one night…”When I told everyone I was gonna become a professional stand up comedian, they all laughed… Well, they’re not laughing now!” 🎤…Hmm…maybe I should have closed WIT that last time! 🎯🤷🏻♀️

⌨️ As they sat at the KEYPAD, I mean keyboard, JUNIOR, the youngest, and his brother, the ELDEST, tried to create a FAMILY logo for their business, “CAN’T YOU TAKE A JOKE”, using a graphic of both a ROCKET and a GUITAR…⌨️
🎸The ELDEST always played GUITAR, now JUNIOR wants to learn,
Nick tried out chords for a new song, dubbed “KEYPAD Out To Burn”…
Not ROCKET science, writing, but one needs to concentrate,
Yet the youngest in the FAMILY just doesn’t want to wait
The nagging and the clowning …since the moment he awoke…
He’s got the nerve to say to Nick…”What…CAN’T YOU TAKE A JOKE”? 🎸
🤷🏻♂️Doing stand-up one needs a thick skin,
Sometimes hecklers taunt as you begin…
Fresh material’s key,
To avoid the ennui…
And one prays they’ll get more than a grin…🤷🏻♂️
🎤Open mic night can really be tough,
Hours pass and the crowd can get rough,
They’ve heard so many jokes,
That for some gals and blokes…
Reaches a point that they’ve had enough…🎤
🤞🏻So the luck-of-the-draw plays a part,
Two or three in…after the show starts…
Seems the best place to be,
To a certain degree…
And combine that with a lion’s heart…🤞🏻
🙇🏻♂️So today when we see Junior’s stunt,
One can’t blame Don for voicing a grunt…
He’s on later tonight,
And he feels it’s not right….
Junior’s using his prop…Such affront! 🙇🏻♂️
🤷🏻♂️Who knows how this scenario ends,
Will these men ever end up as friends?
Right now…not a joke,
Theft’s not like Facebook’s poke…
Here’s to hoping Junior makes amends! 🤷🏻♂️
Bummer. The online puzzle left out the apostrophe in the solution again
Yes, it did 🤷🏻♀️
First thoughts this morning were HOW’D YOU LIKE A XXXX ?? So…nothing was gonna materialize there. From there, speedily unscrambled anagrams, put JOKE at the end, then thought first word was CAN’T….and got the solution from there. Interesting reading, Angela….enjoy your Sunday Funday. Terry
Tks, Terry 🎯🙋🏻♀️
Wow, I’m usually done in by the extra Sunday anagrams and cartoon letters but conquered that with a quick solve of all even the multi lettered cartoon! Chuck.
Kudos, Professor 👏🏻👏🏻! 🎯🙋🏻♀️
What you’ve done is a serious matter
I am not in the least bit flattered
What you’ve done is pure theft
And I’m feeling bereft
My career could now be in tatters!
What you’re doing is taking the credit
Not trying to change or to edit
The jokes that are mine
Yes, the same punchline
Now people will think it’s YOU who said it!
Easy solves of the words. For the answer, I guessed CAN’T one TAKE A JOKE. So close. After checking the letters, I saw the YOU.
key-pad is two words or at least hyphenated so it’s not fair to use
WRONG….or so it seems. Typed in KEYPAD in google and was met with literally hundreds of this word….as one word !!! Saw no hyphenated ones. Please check your references. Terry
👍🏻 Tk you, Terry 🙋🏻♀️
I’m having a Funday Sunday ! This is the first time that I really had a hard time with anagrams and then sailed right through the jumble ! I really had a tough mind wrestling time with ELDEST , JUNIOR , and KEYPAD ! I got the other three , but was confused on the three I mentioned ! Now the jumble , reading about a comedian , put me in a joking mind set ! And when one stole the others material , it came right to CANT YOU TAKE A JOKE ! I was so happy that I got it ! This was definitely a Funday ! And Angela your post was as interesting and descriptive as always ! Very good song and I really like when you talk about Jeff’s Gems ! Bring on start of the week Monday !!!!
Tks, Jim 🎯🙋🏻♀️
Today’s JUMBLE FOR KIDS! OJEYN!
👧🏻👦🏻🙋🏻♀️https://tinyurl.com/3r4uns53
Thanks, I had looked for the ‘Kids Jumble’ earlier, and now you didn’t let me down, always enjoy the Sunday Kids Jumble, thanks for posting it. Chuck.
YW, Professor. Sorry it’s late…crazy day here today…
The puzzle seemed so familiar to me, so I did a little research and found a similar puzzle back on December 27th, 2022…Glad you enjoy it. Have a good one! 👧🏻👦🏻🙋🏻♀️

Thanks again, a twice as good a Sunday with a second Kids Jumble post. Chuck.
YW,..but that wasn’t a Kid’s Jumble. That was a regular weekly one. 🙋🏻♀️
My mistake, I did enjoy solving these anagrams as well. Chuck.
No worries, Professor. I enjoy them both myself! 🙋🏻♀️
Good afternoon. I was able to get all the words but gave up on the cartoon answer. Until tomorrow take care.
I too paused at eldest and keypad but it was smooth sailing after those hiccups. Happy Sunday all! Betty
