Sliced bread, dead people, etc.
There are a million inventions that have made people rich and famous. It all starts with an idea. I often wonder how they came up with that stuff. Were they actually having trouble doing something and thought, ”There’s GOT to be an easier way!” Or did they just wake up at 2 am and wonder what it would be like if… how do they do it? Wouldn’t it be cool to be that guy one day?
Then there are things out there that make you wonder. For example, I’d like to follow the train of thought that hit that guy to think:
Hey, it would be pretty cool to turn Dad into an earring. You will now be hearing, ”No, it didn’t belong to your grandma, that is your grandma.” Or spending Thanksgiving dinner at your parents’ house and you wonder where the family dog is, and Mom says, “Oh, Scruffy? Why, he’s right here!” as she points to a nice sparkly pendant around her neck. And for an extra $3/letter, you can laser engrave a message ON to dear old dad. Talk about taking tattoos to a whole new level.
I get sentiment and all that, but personally, this is just a teensy bit morbid to me. I’ll just leave behind some pictures, recipes and some cash to my mochis, thanks.
