| Crossed Words |
Normally, each Monday morning there is a stamped addressed
envelope on the post table addressed to “The Prize Crossword”...
If the crossword submission is not ready for the post then
it will certainly be in the process of being completed on my boss’s desk. For
it still to be work-in-progress today, on Wednesday is most unusual.
“I never win, but it keeps my brain active.” he says as he
types the clues into Google.
He will only ever ask for my input when he’s totally
convinced that he’s got something right and equally convinced that I will not
know the answer.
He is also rather unappreciative of unsolicited assistance with the crossword, here is a recent
example:
Me <looking over his shoulder>: “I don’t think that’s
right.”
Him: “What?”
Me: “13 down, a type of headwear.”
Him: “What?”
Me: “Fishcake, I don’t think fishcake is a type of headwear”
Him: “Have you finished that report I asked for?”
No, he never wins the prize crossword.
