Round 2991 GARTIE Results

[Tim Lodge]

We have a tie for first place between Debbie Embler (the shoe agreement) and Efrem Mallach (the garter flash) who both got 5 votes.  Efrem is ahead in the rolling scores, so he takes the deal for round 2992, while Debbie can relax as the real winner.  Three people guessed correctly that a GARTIE is an old word for a ransom for felony - I left out the '?' which the OED gives it.

Take it away, Efrem!
