Comments Department.
A tougher set than the last couple, I guess...
With #1 I had in mind a "sand WEDGE" which will get you out of
a sand trap. Other wedges work as well for the answer, however :)
#3 refers to the movie "The Dirty DOZEN."
#5, George BAILEY was the lead character in "It's a Wonderful Life"
(played by Jimmy Stewart).
