Great teaser!
Loved it. Made me think for a moment...and I still didnt get it
WOW THAT WAS HARD I DID NOT GET IT AND I COULD NOT EVEN GET IT AFTER I ASKED FOR HELP!
Nice! Didn't get it and feel silly about it now.
Nice one.
Excellent job!
Brilliant teaser - I didn't get it - well done!

This is a cute teaser...Please make more of these!!!
I agree with pretty much everyone else. This is a great teaser, and I didn't get it but when I read the answer it was -- of course!!! Thanks for posting.
Don't know why,but my brain lit up and figured this one fairly easy.
I thought this one was hard...until I saw the answer. Well, I still think it was hard, since I didn't get it.
Good one. Thanks!
Good one. Thanks!
I agree with most of the others. It was too hard for me, then I saw the answer and slapped my forehead. Thanks for a great teaser.
I think the clues are misleading. If the sky is the limit, then the answer to "can I fly in the sky?" should be "no."
I feel stupid Good One.
Interesting...
Awesome teaser!
my favorite!
Nice teaser. Pretty easy though.
Good One! I could only come up with Lost in Space
Aw, thanks guys. I'm glad you like it.
It's obvious in two ways:
The answer is obvious .
The puzzle is obviously good !
Anything more obvoius?

I came up with "You can do anything under the sun."
Excellent teaser! It's hard to find a good rebus, but this one is.
This riddle is good but......lol there are footsteps on the moon
Did I figure out this teaser? Yes Did I see this teaser before? Yes
Was this another repeat? Yes
Do the editors ever give us new teasers? NO
Was this another repeat? Yes
Do the editors ever give us new teasers? NO
It's was so boring!!
It can also mean:
YOU CAN DO ANYTHING IN THE WORLD THAT YOU CHOOSE.
YOU CAN DO ANYTHING IN THE WORLD THAT YOU CHOOSE.
I got this one easily, it was a very good one
Well, I am with the majority who did not get it, however I agree with Craniac. He should not have been able to fly in the sky. That takes away from the answer. Sorry to point that out!
Good Rebus.
Fine example of the "story" Rebus. Relies on what the "ear" "hears" instead of what the "eye" "sees" ...
... or, more properly, on what the "eye" ("eye of the mind) does NOT "see".
And this NOT "seeing" generates the "intuitive leap" (an "educated" guess).
These two things (the "eye" of the mind) and (the "ear" of the "read") are the basis of ALL Rebus-writing and Rebus-solving.
Most of us (Braingle Editors included) sometimes forget that and try to solve (or limit) Rebuses based on linear rules.
Won't work. Never has. Never will.
Of course my "windedness" will now be decried - by some here - as just more "jibber-jabber".
Is it not sad that some adults are doomed to go through life calling everything they don't understand ...
"jibber-jabber"
My four-year old great-grandson became fond of that expression in his pre-school experiences.
Fortunately we (his mom, dad, and I) worked him out of that.
Thanks for the "listen". Keep plunkin'

Good One! I thought "Father knows best," crossed my fingers, clicked show answer, but got buzzed out.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't see how this is a rebus. It's a cute teaser though.
Didn't get it again.
Cute, but corny!!
This one was way over my head.
Cute teaser. Enjoyed it.
Everybody. Please go back to yesterday's TOTD and read my reply to Editor Frogg's assumption about the BunnyBunch.
VERY interesting.
I would think Editors would spend their time reviewing newly submitted teasers (for which they are WEEKS behind) than doing such pointless sleuthing.

I like it!
Fun and enjoyable teaser. It was a difficult one for me and I did not get it.
Yes ....
A classic example of a good 'story' Rebus (which the Editors [actually "Language Judges"; who do LITTLE 'editing' assistance] have now outlawed.
Yep ... go read the FAQs on it.
Also, if you want MORE hilarious reading .... get the TOTD for June 20, 2017 (titled "Business is Good" ... teaser # 12407) for a mysterious (but VERY funny) effort by Editor Froggy to unearth nasty doings by the BunnyBunch.
Sorry, Frogg ... go back to your live-in Associate Language Judge; maybe some nice pillow-talk will soothe thy nerves.
