Aliens seized doctor. Doctor probed aliens.tonyglim says,
You're welcome, Bevvie. I enjoyed trying to meet the challenge. I like your new six-word pun. Is that the same doctor whom the nurses neutered?Bevvie says,

@ Bevvie: Yep. You're correct. Math never came easily to me.scribbling_scribe says,
trying again with a little different slant:Danish housewife starts coffee cake clutch.
scribbling_scribe says,
Darn!! Cake is only 4 words! This six letter thing is definitely a challenge.scribbling_scribe says,
And housewife... 8 letters. Grrrr!!scribbling_scribe says,
Danish mother starts pastry coffee clutch.scribbling_scribe says,
Abbess admits filthy habits appear impure.scribbling_scribe says,
correction on earlier pun:Junkie fixing psyche: Smacks opiate habits.
Bevvie says,
Yes, this is quite a challenge. I had several drafts before I found the correct combination. But the Danish mother works well, and the Abbess is gold star. Now you have to publish them on Life (if have not already)Sagacious says,

Nice try, Sag. At least you realize your math challenges! LOLscribbling_scribe says,

Ballet sans toe shoes is pointeless.Queen_Mab says,
OK, I couldn't do it with 6-letter words. This is actually a 6-word version of a quip my son made when I said dancing on pointe seemed cruel to the dancers.Bevvie says,
I remember ballet classes. I like although not six-letter words! :-)
