AVMA Take 2
help
Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

[Irouléguy] No.
[Chalky] Yes.

[finger-trap] After googling and finding a picture I can now state certainly that I have never seen nor heard of it - is it me, or generational, or geographical?
[INJ] More than one.
[INJ] (fingertraps) I saw them as a child in Edinburgh, erm, later middle C20.
Do they come in different sizes?
Is this used in the home?
Chinese Finger Trap - I've never heard of this either. T'was rather an anticlimax really :-(
Different sizes: Yes.
In the home: No.
Do you typically see it when driving on the street?
[IMJ, Chalky - Type www.ebay.com and put in "Chinese Finger trap" in the Search box. You'll see pictures of this infernal device]
