A jockstrap is a piece of equipment which an adult male would be embarrassed to ask for in a diminutive size.

For the record, I thought Tiny Tom would have a hard time buying CONDOMS in a size zero. Now I’ll sit tight and wait for the panelists to answer before I do! 😃

Puny Peter and Dainty Dick are the ones that can’t find condoms that fit.

Putting aside the _really_ horrible answers I thought of, I’m going to say a GARLIC FARMER. 😃

What an excellent answer! Let’s see what our panelists had to say:

**Maus Magill** : garlic farmer , that’s a match!

**Dr. Girlfriend** : garlic factory, our judge says that’s close enough for a match!

**HardlySanguine** : priest

**notfrommensa** : understaker

**Hoopy Frood** : garlic farmer , for another match!

**Yeticus Rex** : The Cast from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

That’s three matches for **antonio107** in round 1, so we go to round 2 with the score 3-2. The first question goes to our leader, that’s you, **antonio107**. Panelists **HardlySanguine** , **notfrommensa** , and **Yeticus Rex** , please PM me now with your answer to the following:

> [@](#):

> The Occupy Wall Street movement has a lot of surprising corporate supporters. Domino’s just announced that for every pizza the protesters order, they’ll throw in a free \_\_\_\_\_\_\_.

Richard Dawson left the Match Game back in the 70’s for the **Family Feud** , it was not an amicable breakup. 😉

Free shameless bump with pizza purchase? Kind of an odd deal.

Oh hey. I have two private messages. Sorry! Am drowning at school.

There’s an occupy movement near my school, and so I hope that they’re throwing in a free BAR OF SOAP with that pizza.

No worries, **antonio107** , we’re glad everything is okay. That’s a marvelous answer! Let’s see what our panelists had to say:

**Maus Magill** : matched in round 1

**Dr. Girlfriend** : matched in round 1

**HardlySanguine** : stick of deodorant, which our fume-woozy judge says is not a match

**notfrommensa** : extra cheese to go with their whine

**Hoopy Frood** : matched in round 1

**Yeticus Rex** : bull horn  
So, alas, there were no additional matches for **antonio107** in round 2. With the score still 3-2, that takes us to our round two question for **cmkeller** , which follows. **Dr. Girlfriend** and **notfrommensa** matched in round 1, so they lay out: other panelists, please PM me now with your response to this:

CORRECTION:

That question should read:
