"Oyez" was my only one after I realized the 4 letter limit. Until then I was thinking, "Hear ye!"
But "ha ha!" is hilarious in this context!

I wondered who else on here does the daily crossword puzzles.
I do the one from USAToday Life section and the one from the Detroit Free Press everyday.

Is it not reasonable to anticipate that our understanding of the human mind would be aided greatly by knowing the purpose for which it was designed?

heh! - i keep a big book of crosswords in the bog. gives me something to think about while doing my early morning dump. i usually prefer the cryptics tho, but the current one [featured in the stunning image] is a book of "normal" crosswords.

tidbit
The name Oyez comes from the Anglo-Norman word for hear ye, the imperative plural of oyer, meaning to hear. It was used as a call for silence and attention in court and at public gatherings.
