We’ll have more tomorrow, so please come back then.” She nods and walks away. A few minutes later, she returns and taps him again. “Sir, I was wondering where I could find the spinach?” Confused, the grocer says, “Ma’am, we are out of spinach today. We’ll have more tomorrow morning.” She smiles and thanks him, then walks off again. Moments later… tap tap tap. “Pardon me, but do you know where the spinach is?” Now visibly irritated, the grocer says, “Let me ask you something. How do you spell ‘dog,’ like in dogmatic?” She replies, “D-O-G.” “Good. Now, how do you spell ‘cat,’ like in catatonic?” “C-A-T.” “Perfect,” says the grocer. “Now, how do you spell ‘freakin’, as in spinach?” She pauses. “F-… wait a second… there’s no F in spinach.” The grocer throws his hands up and shouts, “LADY, THAT’S WHAT I’M TRYING TO TELL YOU!” f y d e l s a l m WordWheel The goal of a word wheel puzzle is to create as many words possible with the letters in the word wheel.
