	@bowsntoys and @trick39berry For what it's worth, the é (on a Windows machine) is alt+0233.

	"Your money or your wife"? That's not the cliché...

	I'm more familiar with references to stable doors and horses, instead of barn doors and cows. The former must just be a UK expression. Likewise, it's usually 'to cut a long story short' in my experience. But it was interesting to see some alternatives!

	Oh, and: 'Where there's smoke...they pinch back'. Not sure how many will get that, but it's worth a go. Kudos to you if you do ;)

	@GhostsDaddy. Alternatively, ctrl+alt+e gives é on Windows.

	The money or your wife is not an error: it's a joke. Of course it's supposed to be life, but wife is from a movie with a guy with a horrible wife who is being mugged and asks for a minute to think about it. It became an expression during whatever time the movie was popular.

	"can of corn" isn't used as much these days in baseball. The phrase got its start back in the days when cans of corn were kept on the higher shelves of stores and had to be knocked down into a stock boy's apron.

	Definitely only needs one minute.

	53 seconds, and that includes correcting typos.

	Awesome theme worked into every clue of the ladder. All future word ladders should use this as an example.

	I loved this one too, probably because I got all of them correct with over a minute left. Maybe I am getting smarter, or maybe it's because I do these every day. It makes me feel like I'm achieving something great in the universe.

	@Bienenstock: Thanks for the kind words. They really mean a lot. :)

	Great work putting this together!

	As alternative answers you should also accept Can of WORMS, Read the SMALL print, To CUT a long story short.
