One day, a man at a restaurant...

One day, a man at a restaurant suddenly called out, "Help! My son's choking! He swallowed a quarter! Please, anyone! Help!"
A man from a nearby table stood up and announced that he was quite experienced at this sort of thing. He casually walked over, wrapped his arms around the boy's abdomen and squeezed.
Out popped the quarter.
The man then went back to his table as though nothing had happened.
"Thank you! Thank you!" the father cried. "Are you a paramedic?"
"No," replied the man. "I work for the IRS."

Steel-making patent

In 1857, a U.S. patent was issued to William Kelly for Manufacturing of Iron and Steel (No. 17628). Although he had been experimenting with the steel-making process for a few years, he had not patented it until he heard that Henry Bessemer had been granted a patent on a like process. Kelly had not filed first, but he was able to convince the patent office that he was the first to invent the air-blast method of forming steel from iron in a cupula. Kelly thus held rights of priority for his patent. However, Bessemer had important additional steps worked out to mass-produce steel. Bessemer was a businessman and industrialist who made the Bessemer process profitable, but Kelly still benefitted from his share, though smaller, of the vast profits.«[Image: Kelly's converter illustrated from patent diagram, Red arrows indicate the tuyeres through which an air blast is introduced.]
