I went to the 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.” I replied.
“What else do you have?” she asked.
“A folding carton.” I said.
“What do you call it?”
“A Farton.” was my reply.
She snickered and said, “Those are silly names for products and one of them sounds kind of 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.
