Lassie loo-ed brilliant, in -art because the farm family she li-ed
with was made u- of idiots. Remember? One of them was always
getting -inned under the tractor, and Lassie was always rushing
bac- to the farmhouse to alert the other ones. She'd whim-er and
tug at their slee-es, and they'd always waste -recious minutes
saying things: "Do you thin- something's wrong? Do you thin-
she wants us to follow her? What is it, girl?", etc., as if this had
ne-er ha--ened before, instead of e-ery wee-. What with all
the time these -eo-le s-ent -inned under the tractor, I don't
see how they managed to grow any cro-s whatsoe-er. They
-robably got by on federal cro- su--orts, which Lassie filed
the a--lications for. ~ Da-e Barry

The solution to 224 was:

Lassie looked brilliant, in part because the farm family she lived
with was made up of idiots. Remember? One of them was always
getting pinned under the tractor, and Lassie was always rushing
back to the farmhouse to alert the other ones. She'd whimper and
tug at their sleeves, and they'd always waste precious minutes
saying things: "Do you think something's wrong? Do you think
she wants us to follow her? What is it, girl?", etc., as if this had
never happened before, instead of every week. What with all
the time these people spent pinned under the tractor, I don't
see how they managed to grow any crops whatsoever. They
probably got by on federal crop supports, which Lassie filed
the applications for. ~ Dave Barry

Final scores:
koxka = 164 points
MissMeow = 97 points
Vio&Juni = 172 points
Casper & Kitty = 93 points
delidog = 79 points
luckies4me = 78 points
Randi = 42 points
Cincy'sMom = 12 points
JillLovesMinnie14yrs = 12 points
