The Lighter Side

By Dick West

WASHINGTON UPI — The i which I have suggested brand Small Business Administration names and possible ways that publishes each month a catalog they could be exploited for caplisting new inventions that of- ital gain, fer opportunities for commer- . ^ dal wtth leaguers. I am not certain that the I uses I envision are exactly what Anyone reading the current the inventors had in mind, but I issue cannot help but be im- will voluntarily waive any roypressed by the potentialities of allies that might accrue from the products, some of which are misinterpretations, still on the drawing board. The stupid quarterback Listed below are a few of the prompter — a combination more ingenious entries, for sweatband and card case worn

on the wrist Thick-skulled foot* ball players who are unable to remember the signals can look at the cards and find out what they are supposed to do on the next play. The skindiving romance stimulator — male skindivers are handicapped when a pretty girl skindiver swims by. If they try to whistle under water, they only produce air bubbles. This device fits on the end of a snorkel tube and makes a whistling noise when the skindiver exhales. The discotheque breath-saver —many people sit out the frug and other discotheque dances either because of laziness or

back trouble. This device, which can be worn with or without shoes, is a. foot plate that rotates on ball bearings. It permits dancers to gyrate the body with less exertion and strain on the sacroiliac. The portable papoose the catalog features two types of packs for carrying babies piggyback. A sharp businessman should be able to turn a neat profit selling them to Indians, who are primitive people and would never be able to invent something like that themselves. The vending' machine thieffoiler — thieves are forever stealing coins out of parking

meters and vending machines. This device would thwart such crimes by using tokens rather than coins. After the tokens are dropped into a machine, they are chemically destroyed. Which makes them theft-proof. The non-skid soap cake — a small elastic thread is wound around and through a cake of soap. Prevents the soap from slipping when wet and sticking when dry. Makes soap as efficient as snow tires. The catalog does not indicate its effect on the soap user, but it should be ideal for the skin you love to shred.
