Today's puzzle:
The following 17 letters can be anagrammed into a five-word dialectical phrase meaning "a little farther along."

A A C D D E E E H I N O O P R T W
The answer? "Down the road apiece." More now in addition to being poor at algebra, they're poor at doing arithmetic.

(Okay, they obviously meant "down the road a piece", especially given that "apiece" means "per individual" and not "a small portion", but still.)

Or one quarter, and two pennies that have been smashed by a train on a railroad track.

Two dimes and a nickel of course. One of the coins is not a dime. The other two are.
