What's your miliion dollar idea?

Postby starleen2 » Thu Aug 06, 2009 8:07 pm

Ok folks here is a new one – if you could invent anything that once marketed would make you a millionaire what would it be? Be creative or practical – patent it if you want, but remember all the people you left behind. Here is my idea: A small packet – about the size of a sugar packet that can be added to any caffeine laden drink that renders the drink decaffeinated. Or a kiosk at the doctor’s office that you yourself can input all your information and it fills it out on all the multiple forms that ask for the identical information (if you spent time at the doctor’s office, you know what I mean!) So have at it

Fender mounted cruise missiles to make freeway traffic more manageable.

A device to repel tail-gaiters from riding my rear bumper.

(Can you tell I had traffic issues today? :x )
Still graced with two eyes and ten fingers (due in no small part to luck!).

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

Tony, I too, long to own such a vehicle like Bond's Aston Martin
(on the freeway today, construction work coming up, down to one lane, this ____ has to come blasting past me and crowd in ahead of me, then we all slow down to 55 anyway....sheesh)

Image

.....but I digress, my idea is a device, much like a small hearing aid, which men could use to allow them to understand, not what your wife or girlfriend said, but what she meant.........'probly make a gazillion overnight..easy
:D

a rear facing piece of PVC pipe (bore open to level of frustration) mounted to roof rack one end capped, facing rearward. Loading valve with load of choice i.e. shaving cream, whipping cream...CO2 fire extinguisher with valve up stream of of valve for load. load and fire buttons. Perhaps an LED sign that flashes BACK OFF OR ELSE.

The automated stop-light super butthead device.

It's a device that mounts on your dashboard, with a CCD camera and image recognition software.

When it detects you stopped at a red light, it "watches" the light for you and within milliseconds of the light turning green, it lays on your horn for you.

I'll sell it primarly to lawers in BMW's that can't possibly wait the .1 seconds for me to force the crappy tranny in my jeep into first gear.

(Seriously, people would buy this thing)



My SOP is that if you honk at me at a light, amazingly the clutch gets released while my foot is still on the break... Whups... Takes awhile to get the beast started again....

You forgot to get out and lift the hood until just before the light changes again then hop back in and speed off just as the light turn red. They of course will either follow risking a ticket or play it smart and sit there.

*chuckle* That's what I was thinkin'...


But since this thread can't be exactly serious, my Million-Dollar Idea would be... (Tony set the tone, here... :-)~)

Sharks With Frickin' Laser Beams On Their Heads


(I didn't say it was original...)

The Navy would buy a bunch to assist in it's S.E.A.L.s operations.
