1 Across - Warship Fleet (6 letters)

5 Down - Big trouble, figuratively (9 letters)

59 Down - Chum (6 letters)
Answer - FRIEND
Apparently I struck a chord or two with the previous posting titled Where the Hell is Condor? Do I need to remind everyone that this blog is 50% for me to just rant and rave? And, for that matter, that everything in it is fiction? Of course, I still haven't talked to the bastard.

Here's the riddle and answer: IF THEY PRODUCED A NEW TELEVISION SERIES CONCERNING A FELLOW WHO GETS MARRIED AND DIVORCED A FEW TIMES WHAT SHOULD IT BE CALLED? I WED THREE WIVES.

Not only pretty lame but rather offensive to those with a speech impediment. Elmer Fudd should sue!
