I have always longed to be a designer and inventor and recently, I went to the US Patent Office trying to register some of my inventions.
I went to the main desk to sign in and the lady at the desk had a form that had to be filled out. She wrote down my personal info and then asked me what I had invented.
I said, "A folding bottle."
She said, "Okay. What do you call it?" "A Fottle."
"What else do you have?"
"A folding carton," I said
"What do you call it," she asked? "A Farton,"
I replied. She sniggered and said, "Those are really silly names for products, and one of them sounds kind of...well, almost crude."
I was so upset by her comment that I grabbed the form and left the office without even telling her about my folding bucket.
:disapprove:
