    Anyone know this one?

    Last month, I came upon a quote that killed my 100% solve rate.
    I don't remember the details of it, except that it had a word that had one letter, then an apostrophe and it wasn't "o'clock".
    Anybody know that quote or what that word could be?
    I even tried cheating on a cryptogram solver web site and came up with nothing.
    It's a pity that I waited so long to ask all you guys, because now I don't remember any other details.

    That's why- at least some of us- started making lists of those horribly difficult quotes once we had solved them!

    Also, folks used to ask for help in the chat room, or by sending a PM to someone. I haven't really seen that in some time.

    I don't know why this one was so difficult for me. I must have at least a half-dozen friends named Asclepius, and another 3 or 4 called Crito.
    and i reiterate: good lord--no wonder there are quotes i just can't solve!

    "Love is our god. Lets go grab a slushie." by JD

    or, alternatively:

    "Our love is god. Lets go grab a slushie." by JD

    There is no apostrophe in "lets" which makes it soooo much harder to solve.

    I know, I know... after having seen some of the really difficult quotes listed here, I promised not to post anymore quotes here myself. But I really did struggle with this one.

    Sorry if this is a repeat

    I may have already posted this one, since I commented on it.
