Guess What Becomes Guess Who.
By Rummuser. Filed in Humor |Tags: Contest, Funny Gadgets, Smoke Enema
I am indebted to a very frequent visitor to this blog who suggested that I try this out on my readers. The idea was to run a contest to see if people can identify what this gadget is and what use it can be put to.
Having tried it on a few knowledgeable types, I found that it will be next to impossible to identify what it is. I therefore reproduce the complete illustration and caption as a matter of interest to my readers.
If you find it difficult to read the small print, just click on the image and it will enlarge enough to be able to read the fine print.
I would still like to hold a contest. I would like my readers to hazard a guess as to who the regular visitor could have been, who suggested this idea.

Two names pop into my mind, but dare I state them just in case. Both have such a sense of humor that, well actually, there are three that fit that bill..Grannymar, Maynard and Magpie, more so the first two.

There Grannymar, you won one vote and Magpie another! Not a bad reputation to have.

I’ll do my best to live up to it!

I am a very frequent visitor…
My first thought was Magpie 11 but then you said frequent…. so I say Looney.

Good Lord, Magpie? I would have never thought of that had I to guess. Looney confessed and Mayo won by popular vote and some arm twisting. Please see my follow up post.

Conrad…definitely Conrad. Not, I may add, because he is a fan of blowing smoke…..ahem….you know the rest but because he’d insist you share such a wonderful contraption with the rest of us.

I am sure Conrad will adore you for your reasoning. Alas it is not he.

Actually no, it is not I. I should have taken a picture of my own smoke enema device and sent it to you, for it is very similar but with a different fine carving.
My health care strategy is this. If smoking meat preserves it, and, since many have called me a turkey, it only stands to reason that using my device will preserve me starting from the inside, leading to a long life.
The turkey, by the way, is very similar to the goose and this device is also very similar to a goose. The connections seem so obvious now that I examine it…

Don’t bank on smoke’s preservative qualities, Conrad. I have thrown many a kipper past its SMELL by date into the bin.
Also, goose – by virtue of its fat – is a much safer option for roasting than turkey which – by taking revenge on its early demise – is likely to be dry (or underdone).

Impeccable logic Conrad. What a pity that you did not send a photograph of your own device. Let me have it for another post or perhaps, you can do one on your blog.
I am a vegetarian as you know. For me, goose, Turkey or parrot makes no difference. Have a look at my latest post!

Oh my gosh – so that’s where the expression came from.
I can’t venture a guess. All I know is, I’m not the guilty party.

Darlene, I am surprised that you could not guess. Please read my follow up post.

I havent a clue who suggested the idea but it does give another dimension to the term nicotine addict – Imagine if smokers were forced by passive smoking laws only to inhale rectally – Imagine the site in the “smoking allowed here” areas! I can feel my buttocks clenching at the thought.

Bunc, you get first place for imagination.

Well, it wasn’t me!

Judy and Conrad, why me? This is something that a history buff would come with. I say that it was the “smoke artists” themselves–from the “Ass Family”!

Mayo, whether you like it or not, you having got the maximum number of votes, gets the award for being the culprit. Please see my follow up post where I have given you less credit than perhaps you deserve.

I confess, it was me.
Amazing how much craftsmanship can go into a piece of junk.

Looney, with a name like that what do you expect?
Ramana, that case is so orderly (I can’t put the right word because it appears to throw me into your spam folder) it’s pure Freud.
Of great interest to me how anyone’s smoking career has panned out.
