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:

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.)
