THEME: words beginning with CON are reinterpreted
GOOD ONES:
Hoodwink companies? CONFIRMS [con firms]
Swindle court appointees? CONJURORS
Pull a fast one on proctors? CONTESTERS [usually the testers are teachers, so I'd say the con job was on teachers]
Cut with a pink slip AXE [probably hurts just as bad]
BTW:
Bank teller's call NEXT [at a deli counter, yes; teller's window, hardly]
Jockey's strap REIN [interestingly jock strap comes from the same root: jock]
RATING: ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
