-The Gizmo is an Anal-retentive regulator. By screwing the device into the rectum of the anal-retentive person, the user or a person talking to the user, may adjust the A-R intensity. (Am I close?)
The device was eventually taken off the market. The primary drawback was that it left an unpleasant bulge in the back of the pants. Unable to redesign the A-R to create a pleasant bulge in the front of the pants, it became obsolete. Women were totally uninterested in either bulge.
Or, how about one of the first spark plug suppressers? It sure is a curious thing. Sure paid for you to clean out Uncle Reino's barn.

J. R.
Everleth, Minnesota

- It's a cauterizing devise for innies. The spark plug end is inserted with a gentle twist, and then gasoline is added to the lower reservoir and a wire is attached to the spark igniter and the spark plug. The person administering the treatment then ties a string about twenty feet long to the wire close to the trigger end of the instrument. Then he goes into the next room, closes the door, and with one swift "YANK" of the string a spark is created, the gasoline is ignited and the pressure created then forces the unit out of the orifice it was installed in and  the cauterization is complete. The patient is informed not to sit down or go poop for two weeks as this may increase the likelihood of returning innies and the procedure would have to be repeated. If done correctly this is a very effective cure and it also teaches one to increase there fiber intake.

- First glance looks like Gomers crack pipe, but upon closer scrutiny, I'd have to say it's some type of home-brew airbrush/spraygun type of deal. Looks like ya would put paint in the bulb lookin' thing, hook compressed air up to the spark plug lookin' thing and have at it.

- It's an electronic bait warmer. See, that one end there that looks like a spark plug? OK, you take the plug out of your snowmobile and hook this on there. It keeps your worms warm when you go ice fishing.
J. Strandt

- OK, after much thought abd deliberation on the gizmo I have figured it out! It is a "nut roaster". Put your male member in the open end and hook a small portable propane tank to the screw end thingy you see there. Turn on the little propane gas do-dad and roast your nuts! Perfect for ice fishing and deer hunting seasons. Also perfect for nights in bed when your wife is as cold as ice!

- It sort of looks like a real primitive crack pipe ( a common thing to find on Detroit sidewalks ) and it almost looks like a birth control device/sensual aid for your average lonely Yooper! Complete with pressurized pleasure value, in any case!
C. Delaney

-It's one of them things, you know. It's like you tell your wife the doo-hickey on the car broke and you shpw her this. She gives you the money to buy a new doo-hickey and you use the money to buy beer instead. Just don't get caught driving to the beer store.
E. Coddington

It's a "Wolf Whistle"
It was an actual retail item sold under that name. It was for a Model A Ford. You took out a spark plug, screwed in your woman catcher, attached da cord and then you and your cronies from da hood would buzz by some chicks. Who ever's turn it was to pull the trigger would give her a tug. It would then give off a wwooooooo sound...
Cool eh!

Thanks for playing. You guys and gals are creative if not knowledgeable...
