  57. · My daughter… she failed her driver's test; she couldn’t get used to the front seat.

    · My wife and I were happy for 20 years… then we met.

    · I was so ugly, my mother breast fed me through a straw.

    · I told my psychiatrist I keep thinking I’m ugly and he told me to lay on the couch… face down!

    · When my parents got divorced, there was a custody fight over me… no one showed up.

    · With my wife I get no respect. I fell asleep with a cigarette in my hand; she lit it.

    · My wife made me join a bridge club… I jump off next Tuesday.

    · I live in a tough neighborhood. Once I asked a policeman how far it was to the subway and he said, “I don’t know, no one has ever made it.”

    · Once when I was lost, I saw a policeman and asked him to help me find my parents. I said to him, “Do you think we’ll ever find them?” He said, “I don’t know kid; there’s so many places they can hide.”

    · I came from a real tough neighborhood; in the local restaurant I sat down and had broken leg of lamb.

    · When my wife drives, there’s always trouble. The other day she took the car. She came home. She told me, “There’s water in the carburetor.” I asked her, “Where’s the car?” She said, “In a lake.”

    · In public school my daughter was voted most likely to conceive.

    · I bought a new Japanese car, I turned on the radio… I don’t understand a word they’re saying.

    · I tell ya, my wife, we get along good cause we have our own arrangement; I mean, one night a week I go out with the boys and one night a week, she goes out with the boys.

    · I’m so ugly – my father carries around a picture of the kid who came with his wallet.

    · I was so poor… in my neighborhood, the rainbow was in black and white!

    · What a childhood I had. My parents sent me to a child psychiatrist. The kid didn’t help me at all.
    · When I played in the sandbox, the cat kept covering me up.

    · What a kid I got, I told him about the birds and the bees and he told me about the butcher and my wife.
    · I came from a real tough neighborhood; I bought a waterbed and found a guy at the bottom of it.

    · I came from a real tough neighborhood; on my street, the kids take hubcaps – from moving cars.

    · I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me and he said I was being ridiculous… everyone hasn’t met me yet.

    · I'm getting so old my insurance company sends me 1/2 a calendar!

    · I told my kids, “Someday, you’ll have kids of your own.” One of them said, “So will you.”

    · I was kidnapped and they sent back a piece of my finger to my father; he said he wanted more proof.

    · I tell ya, comedy is in my blood; I wish it was in my act.

    Not quite sure exactly when yet (depends on weather forecasts), but soon the M&A clan will be doin a Big road trip. This could well lead to a slowdown in runtpuzs for about a month. Will try to drop one in occasionally, when I can, tho, along the way...

    Enjoy the vacation. Maybe use yer time unwisely, to study up on sled dog breeds and beer brands, or somesuch. (har)

    P.S. @M&A - Maybe too early to mention, and still dependent on government regulation, but in about a month I hope to visit my friend, the Mall Orca. Perhaps we will pass in the airport, coming and going!

    I guess I got spoiled with the pandemic preventing Runt hiatuses but everybody needs/deserves some time away from home. Good for y'all, M&A and @BobK.

  142. Hi all, I got home yesterday, been working on a few runts without expecting to comment until I got caught up, but tried the Iditarod biter! The best part was 15A but had to reveal letters to get that far. I think I am dead last.

    Enjoy your road trip, M&A! You have been spoiling us with all your runts, you deserve a break. I hope you are not relying on your Iditarod team to transport you and the M&A clan. As the saying goes, get a horse!

  149. I just finished getting caught up on all the runts. @M&A, here's my un-dyeing thanks for all runt puzzles, even the questionable ones! I have saved my solves on Down home, except for 2 that I solved with Across Lite while offline on the road.

    Now its time to get caught up on the NYT puzzles I missed.
