Inventions that will probably never be made
I'm sitting here with a cold and runny nose and I'm thinking it is a shame I can't just slap a big old maxi pad under my sore nose. That way I don't have to wipe it--again.

THEN it hits me--what if they made tampons for your runny nose?

Then I realize it is probably not something that will ever be made...

What other ideas do you have for things that might work but will probably never be made?

3. wouldn't the little stringy things hanging out drive you crazy?
actually when I was a wee little mo I tried something similar once and discovered if your nose is running that hard it'll just back up and start running down your throat.

somebody already invented the automatic kitty litter box - I was golden after that.

Inventions that creep me out:

the automatic butt washer (bidet) on some high end toilets. First it blasts you clean, then it blow dries you . . . one of them almost killed me from the shock alone. And it missed.
