Inventions

I went to the US Patent Office yesterday trying to register some of my inventions.

I went to the main desk to sign in and the lady at the desk had a form that had to be filled out.

She wrote down my personal info and then asked me what I had invented.

I said, "A folding bottle."

She said, "Okay, what do you call it?"

A Fottle", I replied.

What else do you have?"

A folding carton."

What do you call it?"

A Farton."

She snickered and said,

"Those are silly names for products and one of them sounds kind of crude."

I was so upset by her comment that I grabbed the form and left the office without telling her about my folding bucket.
