Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼This is so funny! Notice the quotes around “‘Emergency calls?’” Those are the calls you make when someone asks you to check in on them at 9 p.m. sharp just in case they’re on one of those BAD DATES, at which point they have a great excuse to leave their companion immediately. (“I’m so sorry, my dog bit a priest! Gotta go.”) I’ve seen calls like this in action at a restaurant here or there, and I don’t think I’ve ever been the cause of one, but I wonder if anyone really buys it and what a pain it is when something awful really does happen when you’re on a great date — that must be the cause of many foiled great relationships. Shame, really.
