A guy wakes up with a massive hangover and stumbles into the kitchen, where he finds his wife.
“Hey, honey, did you upgrade the bathroom?” he asks.
“Why do you ask?” she replies, curious.
“Well, I opened the bathroom door, the light turned on by itself, and a cool breeze blew right into my face! It was amazing!”
His wife glares at him and says, “So you’re the idiot who pissed in the fridge last night!”
Edison patentIn 1923, Thomas A. Edison was issued a patent concerning "Stylus Mounting" (No. 1,456,687), a mount for phonograph stylii formed of a jewel such as diamond or sapphire in which the stylus is partially enclosed in a metal holder and projects from a reduced end portion thereof. The particular improvement is to provide for the stylus to be firmly and rigidly held to prevent it from loosening in use. A method of reinforcing the stylus mounting is applied at its weakest point, which is where the stylus emerges. An electroplating cell is used to apply a nickel reinforcing collar to the stylus. |
