It’s tough being an innovator. One of my friends sent this link to me. This-orange-squishy-body-armor-material-could-save-lives.html. I can’t compete with the military-industrial complex. I saw a niche application, likely to be unnoticed and not addressed by the big boys.
As you know I worked as an investigator and was assigned to a local narcotics task force. Part of my duties was to go “undercover” in order to buy drugs from suspects. The world of dope is not a trusting environment. Without an introduction, it could take weeks before the locals would trust you. This orange goop could cut the time down to next to nothing.
True genius credit doesn’t go to the inventor. Sometimes it’s the next guy along that exhibits true inspiration. Nobody remembers the name of the guy that invented DOS but they all know Bill Gates. The first blow job, on film, has been lost to time, but 45 years after the fact Linda Lovelace reigns supreme.
I’ve got it condoms! Go into the target bar, acting in an undercover capacity, while wearing a condom made of this stuff. There are two or three variations on the theme, but they all end up with the undercover officer
laying his dick on the bar and hitting it with a hammer. This establishes dominance, a crazy quotient and provides a topic for conversation for weeks to come. It also establishes that anybody who would hit his own dick with a hammer has got to be on drugs. The savings on the undercover bar tab could hire two additional officers. Brilliant! I thought. I got one taker.
Your condom idea would make for one helluva bar bet. You’d drink free for the rest of your life.
This triggered old resentments. Your friends are supposed to be there, offer encouragement, buck you up when you are down. Use caution, your friends can also hold you back. It can be a long lonely journey from A (idea) to B (refinement) to C (implementation.) Making that quantum leap from B to C will see the unimaginative, the shy and the overly cautious fall by the wayside because they don’t share your vision.
Here is an example of what I am talking about. I recognized the need for updated riot control equipment and I came up with an idea (A) mini mac chainsaws, rejected by my friends, (B) refined it, Feral hogs got laughed at,
Either idea would have worked, now I find that somebody has refined my refinement on mini-mac chainsaws and has unveiled the chainsaw bayonet for AR 15. I coulda been a contender!
