What do you wish you had invented?

[mik]

Whether to live off the royalties and spend your precious time doing something more... precious... than working. Or as a legacy. Or whateveh.

Lying obviously, life would be a breeze if nobody else had thought of it.

Listening to a podcast earlier, there was a reference to the inventor of the infinite scroll. Before that you had to click to get to the next page on a website. I bet that inventor does not make much in royalties.

I got no royalties for the PageFlipThang so that sounds about right.

But if you had his money you could always have a cry about it whilst drying your eyes with $100 bills and wiping your arse with misprinted copies of Harry Potter

He has his money and it doesn’t look like it’s making him happy. He looks like a walking divorce.

I wish I'd invented ice cream vans, so that I could rip the fucking Greensleeves chimes out of every one that was ever built, especially the one that pulls up outside my house each night.

I worked on an ice cream van as an early teen. The driver had a seat. I had a bottle crate to sit on - sans seat belt or any other restraint - on the floor beside a big downwards-pointing horn that the chimes came out of.

After 9pm - respecting noise pollution - we had to revert to a whistle instead. Blowing the whistle out of the open hatch window as we drew towards the stop was my job. I can confirm that this task is far from easy when you’ve just stuffed a handful of foam bananas into your gob whilst the driver (aka owner) was busy manuouvering.

How much cocaine did you sell?

[jamcg]

And how much was a single cigarette

[Gavster]

At one of my first jobs out of uni, there was a tradition that the first person to hear the ice cream van chimes had to shout "PAEDO" to alert everyone it was ice cream time.

How much cocaine did you sell?

I was sweet, innocent, and naive.

And how much was a single cigarette

Owner of our van would only sell full packs. All the vans were independently run, so a couple of mates who were also “van boys” on a different run sold singles. No idea how much - see above.
