Today’s ( [mini Crostic Puzzle 891 - Free mini Crostic Puzzle - All-Star Puzzles](http://www.allstarpuzzles.com/crostic/00891.html) ) may be the easiest puzzle I have worked there! It is at least funny. 🙂

I think you were whooshed. It sounds like he’s referring to Wojo (Max Gail) from _Barney Miller_.

“You spell it just the way you pronounce it. W-O-J-C-I-E-H-O-W-I-C-Z. ‘Wojohowitz’.”
