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

I don't think I would have come up with the answer in a million years. Great fun trying though.

It was my least favorite of all times. Did not like it at all. :(

Needed a better hint.

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.
