Today's cryptogram in the paper was bad as usual --- but woodworking related:

e = t. Enjoy - (solving on the puter isn't as fun! :) )

I thinkthat the 6th word, "sbfs", is supposed to be "sfbs".
I haven't solved one of these in a long time, and I wouldn't have worked on this one, except it was supposed to be on topic.
I wasn't disappointed in my expectation of a "corny" quote.
Incidently, this is the first time I tried to solve one on Notepad. I started with two copies of the orginal string and make a database as I went along, replacing lowercase letters by capitals in the 2nd string and writing "e = T" in my database.
This turned out to be easier than just a pencil and paper. To "backup" I could just copy and paste from the first string.

Shouldn't that 'sbfs' be 'sbms' ?

You have a typo.
"sbfs" should be "sfbs".

Geez. I took the Neander route and it worked just fine. I used *a* notepad (lower case). I did almost get a paper cut; no SawStop on my desk.
Food? None of thems woodworkers know how to speel.
