A man walks into a police station and asks to speak to the burglar who broke into his house the night before.
"I’m sorry sir, but you'll get your chance in court,” says the duty officer.
“No, you don’t understand,” says the man. “I want to know how he got in the house without waking the wife. I've been trying to do that for years.”
Wright brothers incorporateIn 1909, the Wright brothers formed a million-dollar corporation for the commercial manufacture of airplanes. The brothers found themselves immersed in business affairs, manufacturing and selling planes, arranging flying exhibitions, training pilots, and engaging in patent suits against Glenn Curtiss and others. The courts decided the suits in favor of the Wrights, but worn out by the long patent struggle, Wilbur died of typhoid fever in Dayton, 30 May 1912, at the height of his career. He had made his last flights in May 1910. Orville continued flying actively until 1915 when he sold his interest in the Wright Company. His last flight was in 1918. The Curtiss Wright Corporation was formed in 1929 with the merger of the Wright and Curtiss companies. |
