    Cute, Clever & Could Be Answers. 

    Since no one got the correct answer and since there were SO MANY entries this month, we ended up with 20 people with cute, clever answers. This was a hard one to judge with almost 200 people playing. All 20 winners are listed below with their entries. We originally picked 32 answers we liked, but we finally whittled it down to 20 winners and gave up trying to cut out the last two get it down to 18.

    The top five most given answers were variations of these we picked at random:

    A tool to do Circumcisions – Joseph J. Gudac Jr

     

    Cigar Cutter Grant Prathe

     

    I think it is a egg cracker. Tim Smith

     

    It's the hose adapter you've been looking for; but you didn't know what the heck it was. Alexis J :)

     

    That is a hand powered (squeeze handles together) bubble blower. Gravetron

     

    More obscure answers:

     

    It is a hand operated fog horn. Ward Bissey

     

    A plastic marijuana pipe! A disaster waiting to happen. -Skullman

     

    Beer Opener. Just place the round opening on the top of a bottle, squeeze the handle, and "pop" the cap is removed. Alan at Cape Cod

     

    Looks like some sort of Garlic Press. Pizzagew

     

    I believe it is used to prevent inhaling offensive smells. Put the suction cup on your forehead then put the clothes pin portion on your nose. Tony

     

    It looks like Marvin the Martian's ray gun! Ian Winkler

     

    This is a device for holding carrots while you peel them. Mr.Generic

     

    It’s a manual eyeball adjuster. Just look through the ring while squeezing the handles till the vision is properly tuned. Gordon

     

    It looks like a “Periscope from the Beatles - Yellow Submarine” Jeffrey Slomovitz

     

    My guess is that it is a device to get kinks out of a hose Ben from omaha nebraska

     

    It’s a DIY makeshift monocle maker, for wannabe Prussian generals. Doug Johnson

     

    Kazoo Pro model - Jerster

     

    It's a handgrip strengthener with a gauge to see how strong you get :D Cassandra

     

    It’s a halo maker for do-it-yourself angels! Tom Hedeen

     

    It looks to be a Ping Pong Ball calibrator for tournament events. N4BFR

     

    WINNERS (Who live in the U.S.) get the August 2020 issue of MAD. It's the Special All Jaffee issue! Al made a rush decision to retire from doing the MAD Fold-Ins & writing Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions at age 99! I'm in with look back at "A MAD Peek Behind The Scene At Health Spas." I wrote it and Jaffee illustrated it. Even though MAD moved to LA in December 2017 I'm continuing the WTHII game and sending out MAD magazines to winners since so many people say they love to play it. MAD's 'cheap' so winners of MAD magazine are for US addresses only. If you win and live in the US, email me your full name & address and put MAD WINNER in the subject so I can pick it out easily. I'll autograph your MAD with your first name & my name unless you specify "Dick's name only". If you'd rather have one of those 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman pictures, instead of August MAD, put "SEND ALFRED PIC NOT MAD" in the subject line. Soon, they will be no more of those either. The remaining Alfred E pics were shipped to MAD in LA. If you won more than once using different names, please just ask for one MAD. If you live anywhere outside of the US email me with WINNER in the subject line and I'll autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email it to you. You can print it out & no one should know the difference. (I've done it quite a few times already and people say it looks fine.)
