Posted by thimblenoggin on Jan 07, 2006 We've all noticed that these four simple wordss all have the same letters in common, but to put them in the context of an extremely well-known Boadway musical was smart. |

Posted by phyllisa on Jan 27, 2007 Good teaser, didn't get it. BTW you say SCAT to shoo away cats (but only if you want them to go away). |
|
Posted by Pizzazz2u on Jan 27, 2007 A highly imaginative and entertaining teaser! Not too easy and yet hard enough to tease others! Totally fantastic! Keep these type of teasers on the daily routine. Keep up the great work! |

|
Posted by jcann on Jan 27, 2007 I couldn't come up with an answer this morning, but this late afternoon it came to me right away! I'm glad I didn't just give up and look at the answer, as I sometimes do. I guess this must mean I do my best thinking in the afternoon. Good teaser! |
|
