I went to the Patent office 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."
"I have also invented a folding carton."
Again she said, "what do you call it?"
"A Farton."
She sniggered and said, "Those are silly names for products and one of them sounds rude."
I was so upset by her comment that I grabbed the form and left the office without even
telling her about my folding bucket.
