I took a folding bottle to the patents office. "This is my invention for a folding bottle, I call it a 'fottle'" The patent man looked at me and said. "What a stupid name, have you got any more inventions?" "Well" I said "I have this invention for a folding carton, I call it a 'farton'." The patent man said "That's just plain rude." I looked at his serious face and said "Well I'd probably better not tell you about my idea for a folding bucket then."
