If you have any Silly ideas, you could win a lot of Putty
Wrack you brain for new ways to use Silly Putty and you could be a Silly winner this summer.
Just fill out the form at the product Web site, www.sillyputty.com, or mail your ideas to Silliest Uses for Silly Putty, PO Box 3546, Easton, Pa., 18043-3546.
Entries, with name, age and address, must be postmarked by May 2 and received by May 8. Winners will be announced June 1.
Top prize is a 14-karat gold egg and a lifetime supply of Putty. That amounts to about six eggs a year, some bean counter calculated. Top 50 winners get a dozen eggs each; top 10 get a 5-pound slab of silliness.
Ideas already taken include: exercising your hands, plugging plumbing leaks, stabilizing wobbly furniture, hanging things on the refrigerator, practicing pizza-dough tosses, creating an inexpensive engagement ring and picking sand off food and lint and pet hair off upholstery.
