Thanks to Uncle Jerry for sending this along to me. I googled these words and found many sites with them and most sites attributed the contest to the Washington Post, although I did not succeed in finding the original material on the Post website. Nevertheless, this is great fun. Funny and intelligent. Quite a good combination. Enjoy.
