Due to the success of the lateral puzzles in the "A riddle" thread, it seems appropriate to start a lateral thinking puzzle thread.

A rule of thumb to follow would be to allow those who do not know the answer to figure it out for themselves. If you happen to know the answer, please keep it to yourself and let the others have the fun.

Please feel free to start one at any point. It is not necessary to wait for one to finish before starting another one.

Have fun!

But there was *something* relevant about the askers' clothing, correct? [Yes]

Were the askers all wearing the same clothing? [Yes] Did the clothing have some kind of message, either overt or implied? [I wouldn't say the clothing had a message.]

did they do anything else apart from asking the question? [They probably did something after they asked the question.] for example, did they took photes of the people they asked? [Irrelevant]

Was the clothing some kind of recognizable uniform?


random guess-- were they actors performing a play for children and asked the audience as part of an audience participation scene?

Did the askers ask any other questions besides the identity of Mickey's girlfriend? Relevant?

If the clothing was some kind of uniform, was it the type that specifically belonged to people in a specific job? career? specific job type? (for example, a quarterback's uniform would label him as a quarterback, football player, and athlete)

Were the questions asked in person? Verbally? And answered verbally?
