It does look like one but it was made for another purpose.

Thanks. I just now saw "wire stripper" by $OTHER_POSTER, and I wanna

30: is a wire stripper

31: is a type of hand operated vise

32: has been answered

33: is a home made overhead candle holder

34: is part of an easel stand

30: is a wire stripper

31: is a type of hand operated vise

Both incorrect


32: has been answered

33: is a home made overhead candle holder

Yes, it's for holding candles but it's for a very particular use, the word
'overhead' could be considered correct but a more specific term would be
better

34: is part of an easel stand

Nope

Correct! Except it's for use by a man who wants to keep his shoes dry.
It's called a boot saver and was also used as a cane.

LOL!

Many years ago, I saw an article in Hustler Mag, about some little
funnel-thing somebody was marketing to enable women to pee at a urinal;
there was a pic (from behind) of some woman standing at a urinal using
this little device.

I don't think it ever caught on. ;-)

Thanks!

I only read Hustler for the pictures. :-)
First, it would have to be used in the Men's room. No urinals in the
Woman's room.
Secondly, it would have to be washed afterwards, unless it is disposable.
Lastly, unless it was a foldable paper funnel, where would it be kept
between visits?

Oddly enough..there are a significant number of women who use these
things, but dont wave them around. Long haul truck drivers, tour bus
drivers, etc etc.

I know at least 5 ladies who keep one in their gear.

Poverty, like obesity, is caused by the life choices that dictate
results." - John Tucci,

I'll go ahead and post the answer for this one, it's a shoemaker's welt
trimmer, a cutting tool used with a pushing motion to trim the outer edge of
a welt after stitching.
