Inventions You Thought Of

[labworm]

I just thought this thread could be really interesting and maybe humorous.

So S&W members, what was yours?

 

[Pete99004]

Al Gore...never mind.

I may not have invented the afternoon nap but I sure do practice it.

 

[doc540]

I can't share it yet cuz someone will steal it!

 

[P&R Fan]

Underwear with a silencer and a charcoal filter to keep bad smells in.
Really, Missus P&R Fan thought we could make a million on that one.

I always was a surf caster fishing for stripe bass and bluefish.
Using poles 11 ft. long, with 2 oz plugs.

You should have seen the look on my face when my sister gave me one for Christmas.

I put a scoop of my Muscle Milk Protein powder on my Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, totally takes away all the guilt!!

I invented an application for my Mac which would automatically sign me out of the S&W forum after 1 hour.

Only used it one time for an hour.

I had this great idea years ago, but my wife told me that I was nuts -
Who in the world would rent movies on VCR tapes?

 

[RightArm]

You know those tackle boxes with the insulated bottom to keep your beer cold. I kept putting off making myself one, but the laziness that inspired the idea is the same laziness that allowed someone one else to market it instead of me. I don't think they stole my idea, just beat me to it.

I wrote a joke once that was declined by the Tonight Show. Keep in mind this was just after the Chernobyl disaster.

"How do you catch a Soviet Spy?"

Hey, I thoght it was funny.

I claim credit for the expressions "lapsed Unitarian" (my personal creed) and "karmic prophylaxis". In neither case do I claim the underlying concept, but only the descriptive phrase.

I also claim "Overholt over store ice", also known as "The Nectar of the Gods", and the fact that as a result of my last visits, three Pueblo, CO liquor stores began stocking Old Overholt.

Two different bullometers, a rotating bullometer and a modulating bullometer, analog devices rendered obsolete by digital technology.

Two opaque and undecipherable card games and an internal fact-checking methodology for bureaucratic institutions known as DHARMAnalysis.

As far as marketable inventions, not so much.

 

[jlrhiner]

Wait, is marketable a requirement????

NUTS!!!

I was talking with a friend about this very issue some years ago. I told him that straight handles on toilet plungers made them a little awkward to use, and that I was going to invent a T-handle for them to make things easier.

A few months later I saw him again and he said, "Hey Andy, remember that invention you were talking about awhile back? I saw some of those on the shelf at Mastersons(area hdwe. store) the other day."

Oh well!

"Wetmap"

A map of the state of Texas that had green dots for beer/wine and blue dots for liquor. Technology beat me.... Dang GPS's! Could have sold beer ad's on the back of it for big buck$$$$

 

[DeathGrip]

My last great idea,

The "C.C.S."

That's Concealed Carry Sign for short.

I have some orders but need an investor.

My product will be hand crafted in the good old U.S.of A. and customized to your specifications.

"manufacturing" hooptie rides............a trend i believe today's society will be attracted to. the ultimate anti shiny new buggy look. the more decrepit "accessories" that are added the higher the price.

raggedly looking exterior, but high performance mechanically.

the public that bought all the "pet rocks" and "cabbage patch kids" will go nuts for a hooptie ride.
