A husband died. A few weeks later the wife died. As she got to heaven she saw her husband. She ran up to him with tears in her eyes.
'Darling, how I've missed you!'
The husband extends his arms stopping her from embracing him and says, 'Whoa there woman, the contract was until death!'
Black American patentIn 1897, a U.S. patent for a "Device for Rolling Cigarettes" was issued to black American inventor J.A. Sweeting (No. 594,501). A concave mantrel would carry tobacco while cigarette paper from a contained roll was turned around the contents, thus producing a perfectly and conveniently formed cigarette. By wetting a strip of the paper along the line of the roller with a finger, further turning of the mantrel would apply tension and separate the paper in a straight line. The wetted portion in contact with the formed cigarette wrapper would adhere to it and prevent unwinding of the wrapper. |
