Just Go!

The cat's out of the bag. Next invention-

2. The Intra-Mattress Toilet: Tired of the waking up in the middle of the night to relieve yourself? Sick of the stubbing of your toe in the dark on the way to the toilet? Can't stand the turning on of the bathroom light that's so bright you want to hurt someone? There's got to be a better way!

Well now there is. Justin's "Intra-Matress Toilet" (©grayplayer) is the answer to all your late night urinating problems. On the top of these specially crafted mattresses is a sliding door. This opening is in the middle portion of the bed in the region of one's pelvis. Simply push the activating button at the headboard and the mattress door slides open. Inside is a steal basin with piping that leads directly to the house plumbing. This allows the user to roll over and urinate freely whenever the urge hits them. The opening is the size of a toilet seat and for ladies it's padded for extra comfort. After finishing your business, simply push the activating button to seal the opening, let it flush and continue your restful sleep. Now you can skip the inner-monologue debate about if you have to go bad enough to get out of bed. Don't think. Don't move. Just Go!

Idea Man

As one of the least handy guys I know, I like to come up with inventions in my head and hope that will somehow save me from ever having to actually fix something. Often times when I share these bits of brilliance with friends the ideas are shot down and laughed at, but I won't let that phase me. In the next few posts I will describe some of these life-changing innovations.

1. Tear-Away Popcorn Bags: What is the best part about eating movie theatre popcorn? You guessed it-being able to eat the top bits of popcorn without your hands as you walk from the counter to the theatre. Tonguing (sorry) the first bit of popcorn saves you from needing napkins, finding stray kernels on your lap, and having to share with friends. So my invention is a tear away bag that allows you to tear along perforated lines as you get deeper into the bag. Thus allowing you to always use your tongue. Picture the technique of peeling away the aluminum foil around a Qdoba burrito.
