We should rename parkways driveways and driveways parkways.

I wanted to start a company called Single Socks that makes and sells one sock at a time that are mix and match. Making mismatched socks a fashion statement.

How about paper paint in a spray can. Every time I go to the post office to mail a box I'm given the third degree and a large, smelly, black magic marker to cross out the words like liquid, cleaner, electric. I haven't time to go buy a box so if I invented a spray that was brown paper bag in a spray can? Like a correction film on a bigger scale? What could the postal-postal worker say then?
(actually don't want to know) would probably reject the box due to potential flammablity, but our lab could work on that.

I have always thought it is a terrible waste to have only one strikeable end to a match . Both ends should be strikeable . After all , many people put their used match back in the box .
If both ends were strikeable , you could cut the wood involved in making matches by 50% .

I thought this was a really great idea until I got the visual of people placing recently extinguished matches back into the box. Matches that possibly have a still glowing ember...

I spit on matches , don't you ?

wolf · 06-08-2006, 11:08 AM

Spit? Yucky ... wooden matches are such a rarity here, anyway, that I don't think the second head idea would catch on ... except for liability lawyers who would love the idea of your having to grasp the extremely flammable end of an already hot object.

I've never known anyone to put spent matches back into the matchbox.

So what are matches made of over there?

Cardboard. But they're only for use when you've lost all three of your disposable lighters.
