  4. Today's "Missing Crossword" reminds me of a "Missing Wife" joke :

    A husband went to the police station to file a "missing person" report about his missing wife:



    Husband: I lost my wife, she went shopping & hasn't come back yet.

    Inspector: Describe her please.

    Husband: Female......

    Inspector: What is her height?

    Husband: I never checked.

    Inspector: Slim or healthy?

    Husband: Not slim can be healthy.

    Inspector: Color of eyes?

    Husband: Never noticed.

    Inspector: Color of hair?

    Husband: Changes according to season.

    Inspector: What was she wearing?

    Husband: Not sure whether it was a dress or a suit.

    Inspector: Was she driving?

    Husband : Yes.

    Inspector : Describe the car, please.

    Husband: Black Audi A8 with supercharged 3.0 litre V6 engine generating 333 horse power teamed with an eight-speed tiptronic automatic transmission with manual mode.And it has full LED headlights,which use light emitting diodes for all light functions and has a very thin scratch on the front left door.….and then the husband started crying...

  9. Since last t wo editions the CW is missing, when the previous day is holiday. We should know the reason also whether the practice will continue. Some influential person like GRIDMAN should ask them.
