$5! Wow! $5, for an invention I made! Where can I sign up?
Sadly, that’s a much better reward than I ever got for my business-changing inventions at Amazon. (I did get a few fetching lucite puzzle pieces though!)

I once watched bondage video where the ‘victim’ was ‘forced’ to an orgasm with a DeWalt pad sander wrapped in velvet. I can still recall her gasping, “Oh man! I gotta get me one of these!”

The $5 was for SUGGESTING an invention. Not actually making it.

Well that’s pretty much what software patents are too.
