GOOD ONES: What lawn care products promise? AMAZING GRASS [or pot sellers, I suppose]
Work on an ear? GNAW [ear of corn]
Once, once ERST [oldie but goodie]
Took it's toll? RANG
BTW: Stand-up fare GAGS [stand-up comedians, not (hot)DOGS or knishes as I thought because I bought them from street vendors]
That a swimmer was in 1928 charged 36 cents to swim through the Panama Canal could not have been due to a prorated body weight factor, could it? Ships weigh tons and tons.
And, did the swimmer carry money in his bathing suit, or was he, or she, on his honor to make payment once dry?
Family nickname GRAN [I don't think so, but maybe: GRAM or GRANNY for grandma, yes; GRAMPS for grandpa, yes. I'd go with GRAN TORINO]
RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
