★ I don't know if it's because Jeff and I share the same first name, we both have two kids, or that his wife inspired him around constructing just like mine did, but this puzzle tickled me. I laughed at a majority of these dad jokes, which is saying a lot considering I don't even laugh at my own!

(Somehow, my kids still call me the funny one.)

DROP EVERYTHING as a pitch (sorry) for a mitt with a hole in it? NO STRINGS ATTACHED for a broken guitar you might pick (get it, guitar pick?)? I'd describe a book with missing pages as a LIMITED EDITION, without anyone being able to read me.

Thank you, I'm here every day!

I didn't understand BUY NOW PAY LATER — why do you pay later due to empty wallet slots? — and DOORBUSTER DEAL didn't play on a broken item like the rest. But five hearty/groany laughs is a great result.

Along with solid gridwork that didn't get in the way of the solve, and a plethora of dad-jokey clues, Jeff stuck the DISMOUNT. Okay, okay, I'm finally getting off my high horse!
