Hi Gerard,

Lockdowns and social distancing measures led to jigsaw puzzles flying off the shelves this year as people searched for new ways to entertain themselves. As one of the world’s largest puzzle producers, we recently conducted a market research study to assess the state of puzzling a year on from the outbreak of the COVID pandemic outbreak.

Here are a few of the key findings:

• The COVID-19 pandemic boosted puzzling activity — 54% of respondents puzzled more (average number assembled rose from 4.28 to 6.25) than pre-COVID
• In the coming year, 98% of current puzzlers expect to continue assembling and 94% say they will continue to purchase puzzles
• More than 1 in 5 respondents (including 1 in 4 Millennials) say the crisis prompted a change in attitudes about puzzling

Would you like more information about this for? Please let me know and I’d be happy to share additional data. Let me know!

Best,

Victoria

Dear Victoria, American Digest is what you forgot to tell your spam letter  robot to include at the “for?”  And frankly my dear I don’t give a damn about your inane puzzling stats. I suggest you find a job that is not such a waste of life, but should you wish to flack on about nothing that is why God made the spam flag and the Delete Button.

Given the last year with the Communist Chinese bioweapon ravaging America and the world, I think the following is all I really need to know about Jigsaw Puzzles:

There’s a tramp sittin’ on my doorstep
Tryin’ to waste his time
With his methylated sandwich
He’s a walking clothesline
And here comes the bishop’s daughter
On the other side
And she looks a trifle jealous
She’s been an outcast all her life

Me, I’m waiting so patiently
Lying on the floor
I’m just trying to do my jig-saw puzzle
Before it rains anymore

Oh the gangster looks so fright’ning
With his Luger in his hand
But when he gets home to his children
He’s a family man
But when it comes to the nitty-gritty
He can shove in his knife
Yes he really looks quite religious
He’s been an outlaw all his life

Me, I’m waiting so patiently
Lying on the floor
I’m just trying to do this jig-saw puzzle
Before it rains anymore

Yes, yes now
Oh, all right

Me, I’m waiting so patiently
Lying on the floor
I’m just trying to do this jig-saw puzzle
Before it rains anymore

Oh the singer, he looks angry
At being thrown to the lions
And the bass player, he looks nervous
About the girls outside
And the drummer, he’s so shattered
Trying to keep up time
And the guitar players look damaged
They’ve been outcasts all their lives

Me, I’m waiting so patiently
Lying on the floor
I’m just trying to do this jig-saw puzzle
Before it rains anymore

Oh, there’s twenty-thousand grandmas
Wave their hankies in the air
All burning up their pensions
And shouting, “It’s not fair!”
There’s a regiment of soldiers
Standing looking on
And the queen is bravely shouting,
“What the hell is going on?”

With a blood-curdling “tally-ho”
She charged into the ranks
And blessed all those grandmas who
With their dying breaths screamed, “Thanks!”

Me, I’m just waiting so patiently
With my woman on the floor
We’re just trying to do this jig-saw puzzle
Before it rains anymore
