| Very fun, Gizzer, but I got it straight away from your 'The Right To Vote' TWG. Otherwise, it would've taken me longer! Great teaser.  |

| From the hint, I knew what I needed to do right away. I didn't come up with lieutenant governor or captain cook though, as I never knew them to be actual phrases. |
