Perpetual motion machine discovered!

Of course, neither of you has supporting evidence that it can't be done, right?

Here's a hint: We can generate lightning with simple Tesla coils. Normally, if it can be produced, it can also be harnessed. Why isn't anyone working on it?

And to think that I graduated just one semester ahead of the university offering the class on over-unity!
I'll just have to lick my wounds and take solace in my bucket of prop wash,10-feet of flight-line,frictionless bearings,can of turnip-truck polish and new Truffla tree calender to remind me that I WAS born yesterday.

Did you ever find the dehydrated water?! How about the sky hook? Or, the red handled beam-stretcher? Could you fetch me 50' of shore line, and a bucket of steam, please?

I once sold a can of replacement smoke to a man with a burned up computer. I later installed it for him...

Do you know how hard it is to find wood-welding rod? Or left-handed split-style lock washers? (Sadly, I once sent an industrial engineer I worked with after the left-handed lock washers... the maintenance guys laughed him out of the shop.)

Left-handed smoke deflectors are useful for camping!

I'm a lefty... I have to get EVERYTHING left handed. When one of my bosses found out I was ambidextrous, he said: "Great, now I can stop looking for those damn lefty scribes!"

I **** you not.

(At the time, I was working as a circuit inspector, and had to etch my tag and date on the circuit boards with a scribe tool. They look like pencils, nothing to differentiate between left or right.)

We once had a salesman in from a distributor selling various janitorial supplies at a wood shop I was working at. We were sitting on our benches having our coffee break. He had a bunch of products lined up on a bench and was explaining them to our foreman, Geoff, a gruff Northern Englander with a heavy accent who rarely smiled. Jeoff picked up a carboard box and said, quizzically "Wot's this then? Sweepin' compound? How does that work?"
The eager salesman began to earnestly show it to him.

Salesman seriously, "This product keeps the dust down while you sweep for a more effective clean-up operation"

The product consisted of a some kind of small chips covered in a tacky compound which he proceeded to sprinkle on to the plies of sawdust heaped on the floor. The foreman looked on politey as the salesman swept the floor, the "compound" completely overwhelmed and engulfed by the mounds of sawdust on the floor. Undaunted, he continued to sweep, explaining the various advantages of sweeping compound.

Geoff had a grin on his face and when he flashed us all a look, one of the guys sprayed his coffee out his nose as the rest of us tried to stifle our guffaws and make it look like we were laughing about something else.

Then Geoff says in a completely serious tone: "Does that sweepin' compound come in larger quantities then?" and we were all ROFL.

Gotta love that stuff... LOL.

Sounds kinda like "Water liquifier".
