Jack feature, perhaps ONE-EYE [picture card, not car lift or a man]
Man and others ISLES [not a male or an interjection]
Letter man POSTMASTER [not a writer or Dave]
BTW: I liked

King Lear.
DOS A DOS is a "don't a don't."

Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
