Doug Ford’s right nut, as he swings upside down on the monkey bars?
Close, Frank, and good use of the clue… that would be embarrassing… but not quite correct.
Bill, you say you’re not running a fever with this bug…..I wonder?
Fever-fried brain. Yup. Quite possible. But I’m feeling better. 🙂
Chunk of concrete fallen off the Gardiner Expressway?
No, Sam. It’s harder than Gardiner concrete… but the Expressway is pretty embarrassing, too. Try again.
TORONTO – You’ll have to pry his fingers off the chain of office, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford said Monday.

Oh, so close! Not Rob Ford’s fuzzy little fingers… but the only part of Rob Ford that is thicker than his waist. The prize goes to you, Joni, not because you were perfectly correct but to bring this nonsense to a merciful conclusion. I feel my brain fever easing up, Danica.
Thanks to the Economist a few weeks back, I realize that the Model T Ford is still in limited production, and this must be the ignition control module ( apparently responsible for 90% of the breakdowns in the past two years) .
It does look like a kind of primitive technology, doesn’t it? Functions like it, too. I’d give that answer a check mark.
