Now arrange the circled letters to form the surprise answer, as suggested by the above cartoon. THE ^z v^Z Yesterday’s (Answers tomorrow) Jumbles: BURLY EXACT WOODEN CACKLE Answer: If you thought Earth’s center could reach 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, you’d — BE “CORE-ECT" I’m struggling with being polite with my talkative colleague Dear Carolyn: I have a colleague who’s fairly new to the office, and I’m struggling to find ways to continue being polite to him. The guy has the unfailing ability to turn any conversation into an excruciating monologue. The Talker walks into my office, ignoring that I’m working, and launches into end less stories that only give rise to more stories. I’ve never heard him ask anyone else how they’re doing. I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed The Talker allow anyone else to utter a full sentence without him interrupting and talking over that person. Yesterday, while I was chatting with another colleague about sports, The Talker inserted him self into the discussion, muscled out my other colleague and set off on a rambling soliloquy about his favorite team. I got onto an elevator and The Talker was still jabbering at me as the doors closed between us. The Talker isn’t a bad guy. Just a really inattentive guy. I’d like to find a way to shush him without hurting his feelings. — Talked to Death I suspect The Talker you’re describing has a neurological backstory, though neither of us is in a position to diagnose that. I bring it up neverthe less because we tend to take less offense, and therefore respond more usefully, to people we see as unable to do something, versus unwilling. More compassionately, too. We also like them a whole lot better. CAROLYN HAX tellme@washpost.com Plus, there’s really no downside to treating your colleague as if he is unable versus unwilling to read social cues, since you’re not building a life with him, you’re just getting a job done and getting the heck on the hecking elevator. So. When dealing with people who can’t read subtle cues, be progres sively less subtle — though never less kind — until you hit the point where he gets it. Or just cut straight to: “Wait wait wait, I’m interrupting you — I’m working and can’t talk right now.” Follow that with, if needed, pleasantly: “I have work to do so I’m escorting you out of my office — per haps another time for your story,” as you stand by the door until he goes out, closing it behind him. (Substi tute earbuds for door in the cubicle version.) Since the alternative is fleeing the scene every time he steps onto it, and since there are few states of human ity more painful than unwelcome isolation, this calm and clear asser tiveness is more mindful of his feel ings — more polite, I would argue — than just letting him talk unabated and then suffer the fallout from that.

South overbid when he jumped to four spades. Had the auction been at the two level, a jump to three spades would have been normal. He did have a terrific hand for spades. At the three level, however, he should have settled for bidding three spades and left the aggression to partner. The bidding space taken away by the opponent’s pre-empt should have made hint more conservative. He was already a level higher than usual for this bidding sequence. West continued with the queen of diamonds at trick two, ruffed in dummy. South drew trumps in three rounds, ending in dummy, and ran the 10 of hearts to West’s queen. South was a bit surprised that West had another heart to exit with, but he captured East’s jack with his ace. He needed some fuck at this point and that's what he played for. South cashed the ace and king of clubs and exited with another club. West won this with his queen, but he had only diamonds remaining in his hand. The forced diamond lead allowed declarer to ruff in his hand while discarding dummy's last heart. The established long club gave him the 10 tricks that he needed. Well played!
