  1. Can anyone please explain the connection between the letters SRO and how it relates to or pleases angels??? I don’t understand that one at all.

    Reply
    • The connection between the letters SRO and angels, likely revolves around the idea that angels, metaphorically or playfully, “love” or “wish for” a full house.
      “SRO” stands for “Standing Room Only,” indicating a venue or performance is completely filled.
      Angels, in this case, could be whimsically associated with the concept of a packed and successful event, as suggested by the various clues related to full houses, success, and box-office hits.
