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...
