My missus was doing a crossword and was really struggling so I had a look to see where she'd gone wrong...

1 down was a 5 letter word and the clue was "Eggs on."...

Correct answer "Goads"

Her answer: "Toast"

Many years ago, my mum's neighbour's son used to think he was the bee's knees at cryptic crosswords. One day, I happened to be in their house and picked up a crossword that he'd been working on. One of the (not very cryptic) clues was "Hardy's doubting companion (6)" - he'd written LAUREL. Still makes me laugh nearly 30 years later...
