| H and & = HAND
M and E = ME
It all goes down. So, HAND ME DOWN.
I didn't find anything wrong with it... |

| It's easy once you see the answer, but before then, WHEW!! Sure had me stumped. I must say it was fun, though.  |

| Well, I don't know if I would have got it or not, because when I looked at the teaser the answer was just sitting there, for all to see! I hate that! Sometimes the answer is hidden until you click, but sometimes, if you go to Braingle TOD from your email, the answer is already visible right below the teaser. Waaaaa!!!
I think it was great! I really wonder if I would have gotten it. I LOVE rebus' like that, that are hard but make perfect sense with no little gray areas. Thanks!

| I must have accidentally put on my thinking cap by mistake this morning, 'cos I got the answer right away! No fair! These teasers are supposed to make me use my brain for at least 20 minutes before I have to look up the answer. Still, it was a cute one... just a little bit toooo easy! LOL |

| Great teaser . However, when I got it in my inbox, it didn't give the category (rebus), so I had no idea what the puzzle was actually supposed to be . Good job. |

| My momma always told me that if you had to resort to foul language and swearing, you were just showing your ignorance of the English language. Seems to me there were quite a lot of smart people, whether they got the braingle or not. Keep up the good work  |

| Escuse me! How does Maverick get away with that comment? I thought this was a family-oriented site and that negative and abusive comments were to be promptly removed. I come here for fun. If you are not enjoying yourself, maybe you are in the wrong place.
There is enough garbage on TV these day--I don't need it on my computer. |

| I think Maverick would not have made that comment to my face. I don't find it particularly offensive, more laughable. Anyone can make threats behind the safety of their computer screen, I have asked him if he wants to try to take up his threat via a PM, no response so far unsurprisingly !!!  |

| Ishouldn't have had as hard of a time with that as I did! I kept trying to find something about "down home" and wondering why it had to deal esp. with clothes (from hint)!
Fun and clever, though! |

| I am always amazed when I think they are hard, and people say how easy they are, and when I think they are easy (like this one) people say they are hard. I am either dumb or extremely brilliant!

| I am ashamed to say that I not solve it. My b/f who is usually not very good at these saw it right away. But in my defence we come from very different upbringings. He as the youngest of three boys received almost nothing but hand-me-downs. Though I am the third of four kids, none of us has ever received one. We all got brand new clothes whenever we needed (or even wanted) them.
It was a good teaser though. Very apparent once you know the answer (no "WHAT I don't get it" response). |

| I saw this teaser quite differently than most people and I saw it as poor grammar. At first glance I saw "home" and then read it as "He and me are not home".
I think I need more sleep!
Clever teaser - bravo to those who solved it!  |

| I am also ashamed to say that I did not come up with the answer. I sat at my desk, staring at the letters. Finally, I just pressed answer and then banged my head on the desk. Good job. |
