I attempted your clues to no avail. Thanks anyway.

Today the game is a nightmare. High move count and time. Clues have not helped much. I will keep trying.

Well @zaphod, calling it a night.

2:50am PDT and bubby is the only one at 123, this is unreal!! This site needs to have different format for playing. Folks in Europe need their own chat, folks on the west coast of America need their own chat. That way being in the same time zones will afford faster communication between players for clues and the like. There is a 7 hour difference like it is 2:58am PDT and the site is 9:58am wherever that is. I believe we would have better times and moves. What is your take on this @zaphod?

A fellow tries to cross the Mexican border on a bicycle with two big bags balanced on his shoulders. The guard asks, "Whats in the bags? The fellow says, "Sand!" The guard wants to examine them. The fellow gets off the bike, places the bags on the ground, opens them up, and the guard inspects... only to find sand. The fellow packs the sand, places the bags on his shoulders, and pedals the bike across the border. Two weeks later, the same situation is repeated... "What have you there?" "Sand" "We want to examine." Same results... nothing but sand and the fellow is on his way again. Every two weeks for six months the inspections continue. Finally, one week the fellow did not show up. However, the guard sees him downtown and says to the fellow, "Buddy, you had us crazy. We sort of knew you were smuggling something. I wont say anything, what were you smuggling?" The fellow says, "Bicycles."

Three guys are convicted of a very serious crime, and they are all sentenced to twenty years in solitary confinement. They are each allowed one thing to bring into the cell with them. The first guy asks for a big stack of books. The second guy asks for his wife. And the third guy asks for two hundred cartons of cigarettes. At the end of the twenty years, they open up the first guys cell. He comes out and says, "I studied so hard. I am so bright now, I could be a lawyer. It was terrific." They open up the second guys door. He comes out with his wife, and they have five new kids. He says. "It was the greatest thing of my life. My wife and I have never been so close. I have a beautiful new family. I love it." They open up the third guys door, and he is slapping at his pockets, going "Anybody got a match?"

Sure nice to have a star today!! @zaphod, do not put 5C on 6D and you may hit 119.Be sure to put 2C on 3D also.

Congrats @zaphod!!

Thank you: I am covered in sweat but I made it. I did not look at cues at all and thus it is all my own work. A new patient walks into the doctors office. The doctor asks him. "Did you see anybody else for this condition?" The man replies" I did not see any other physician but I talked it over with a pharmacist" " And what idiotic advice could he give you ?" asked the doctor. "He told me to make an appointment and to see you!"

And congratulations to you James and to all who managed either with JH or JD to finish at 119. I used JD first. Looking at the summary it is quite a number who reached 119, Yet it was not an easy game. At least not for me. I tried about 20 times before I found the solution

Well done my friend, to accomplish the game without cues or clues. I was able to endure because of the key clues given for a change. It took me a greater number of attempts than you. Golly, you are astute!

Ole Fred had been a faithful Christian and was in the hospital, near death. The family called their preacher to stand with them. As the preacher stood next to the bed, Ole Freds condition appeared to deteriorate and he motioned frantically for something to write on. The pastor lovingly handed him a pen and a piece of paper, and Ole Fred used his last bit of energy to scribble a note, then he died. The preacher thought it best not to look at the note at that time, so he placed it in his jacket pocket. At the funeral, as he was finishing the message, he realized that he was wearing the same jacket that he was wearing when Ole Fred died. He said, "You know, Ole Fred handed me a note just before he died. I have not looked at it, but knowing Fred, I am sure there is a word of inspiration there for us all." He opened the note, and read, "Hey, you are standing on my oxygen tube!"

James this is hilarious. I know that you regularly scan Joke a Day. I do it also and I recognize when you post one from there) but you have a much bigger store of jokes. What are your sources? Are you a collector of Jokes? I wrote you that I am, but my specialty is jokes in Yiddish. During my student years I used to earn a bit of money by performing in a club as stand up comic, and it was a Jewish Club. I also have a small collection of French and English jokes but I have fogotten many as I did not perform nor did I have much opportunity to tell jokes since I graduated in Medicine in 1960- (sic!)

This is true, I am emailed Joke of the Day every morning. No, I do not have a joke collection, I just go online, typing types of jokes I want. The selection is enormous!

Game today is tricky, at 141 and stuck. No idea about the switches. Playing KD and KS over is not working for me. What do you make of it @zaphod?

There was an inebriated driver who was pulled over by the police. When the cop opened the door, the driver fell out. "YOU ARE DRUNK!" exclaimed the police officer. "Thank God for that!" said the drunk, "I thought the steering had gone."

A man lay sprawled across three entire seats in the posh theater. When the usher came by and noticed this, he whispered to the man, "Sorry, sir, but you are only allowed one seat." The man groaned but didnt budge. The usher became impatient. "Sir, if you dont get up from there I am going to have to call the manager." Again, the man just groaned, which infuriated the usher who turned and marched briskly back up the aisle in search of his manager. In a few moments, both the usher and the manager returned and stood over the man. Together the two of them tried repeatedly to move him, but with no success. Finally, they summoned the police. The cop surveyed the situation briefly then asked, "All right buddy, whats your name?" "Sam," the man moaned. "Where ya from, Sam?" With pain in his voice Sam replied "... the balcony."

A Lawyer opened the door of his BMW, when suddenly a car came along and hit the door, ripping it off completely. When the police arrived at the scene, the lawyer was complaining bitterly about the damage to his precious BMW. "Officer, look what they have done to my Beeeeemer!!!", he whined. "You lawyers are so materialistic, you make me sick!!!", retorted the officer. "You are so worried about your stupid BMW, that you didnt even notice that your left arm was ripped off!" "Oh no!", replied the lawyer, finally noticing the bloody left shoulder where his arm once was. "Where is my Rolex???!!!"

Dont cover the 10H at the beginning. Later if you need a space for a king you can move the 9S from the first pile onto the 10. That saves one move and 134

Thanks my friend, tried it and bam, done deal!
