It appeared in our local paper.I'm damned if I know and it's baffling the hell out of me...

'Which two English words have the same number of letters,sound the same and yet do not share any letters at all' ?

Cool one. If someone knows the answer (cue queue? not even close), could you put it in a spoiler box while the rest of us (flocks phlox? no, there's the "o" and the letter count is off...) rassle with this?

I'm in the biz. I should know this.

In my own defense -- I started with "queue," then went back to the front of the, well, queue.

I have a confession to make.

My wife came up with the answer 5 seconds after I asked her the question.

I apologize for misleading you all. She is the one who deserves all the adulation. Brains and beauty, and I'm fortunate to have her.

I'm sorry.
