This is not a crossword clue but a Dingbat. I know all you geniuses who
have helped me in the past with crosswords will have no problem with
this. Even with the answer I don't get it!!

I will post the answer in a subsequent thread so as not to spoil your
fun!

HOAWNLD
BTUWSOH

Is there an equal sign somewhere hOaWnLd and bTuWsOh is bird (owl) in hand and two in bush?

No, I have reproduced it exactly as it is in the cracker.

Sorry the link didn't work.
There is an equals sign between the two lines.

Rossim, I might have had some chance of getting it if they
had given the equals sign. As I said, what I wrote above is exactly
what was given.

That's crackers for you. Were the jokes any better?!

Latin - Plus valet in manibus avis unica quam dupla silvis

Plus valet - worth more than (superior to, above?)
