Do you know ‘what the heck it is’? To play, come up with the right answer, or make up a silly, or inventive answer that we find funny or clever that describes the gizmo shown. We give away up to 18 autographed copies of MAD Magazine. (Up to 6 for the correct answer, up to 12 for cute, silly answers.) The judges have very small attention spans, so make sure entries are no more than 25 words, and please make just one guess per entry. You must sign your entry with a nickname, screen name, fake name, or even real name, but sign it! If it’s not signed, it’s not eligible. You’ll be playing for the June 2021 issue of MAD, produced by the now, tiny LA MAD staff.
Remember cute or clever wrong answers can win too! Please be sure to put ” WTHII” in the subject line so we can pick it out quickly. Good luck!
E-mail your entry to gizwizbiz@gmail.com by midnight (EST) April 30th 2021. By entering you agree this is a game for fun and laughs. Winning answers are published on this website the 1st or 2nd of May 2021, so come back to see if you won. Because like MAD, we’re really low budget here, we can only mail winning copies to United States addresses. Please don’t answer on this website; it won’t count. Good Luck! Winners outside the US can have a 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman photo autographed to them, scanned and emailed to them. Again, sign your entry with something – initials, first name, last name, full name, fake name, screen name, something or it won’t count. We cut & paste the answers in a long list, so we need a name attached to it. Once again entries go to: gizwizbiz@gmail.com
Winner Of The Jan/Feb WTHII Game — Yikes!! Just one winner!
Okay, what was that weird item?
Only Gilbert from New Orleans Knew! His answer:
I’d say that’s a finger saver for cutting vegetables.
And that’s exactly what it is, Gilbert. It’s called The Tip Tough. It’s designed to save cutting your fingers when you’re preparing cutting vegetables. Your fingers go inside the Tip Tough, and those tabs at the bottom help hold what you’re cutting. It’s under $20 on Amazon.

WINNERS (Who live in the U.S.) get the April 2021 issue of MAD. (Wow, I have 17 pages of material in that issue.) 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. I pay the postage 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 February 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 the photo looks great.)
