@B When does "higher than normal" become normal? I hear this phrase every time I seek customer support these days (not from the Times, just in general). I think the phrase means "We've laid off some workers and the under-staffed who remain are struggling to perform the work previously done by the required number"
I read the Wordplay for almost every puzzle I solve, usually to see if anyone else had trouble with a term, clue, or puzzle. I'm often a day or two behind, and this comment comes a day late. I read all the comments for the Monday puzzle and saw nothing about the following, so here goes a rare comment from yours truly: @Sam Corbin, why the image of a Basset hound? The last sound I would associate with that breed is "YIP". Am I missing some greater inference? Love the puzzles, love the Wordplay column, love the regular commenters... heck, I even love the grumpy comments! PS - FTROOP was a show I well remember and enjoyed. I make no apologies for its age, or mine, when I daily put up with clues and answers about rappers, current tv show best friends of characters I've never heard of, and words in languages I don't speak or recognize. It's all part of the fun.
