A man entered the Patent Office to register his inventions. The female clerk pulled out a form, took down his personal information, and then asked, "What is the invention?" He said, "A folding bottle. I call it a 'fottle.'" "Humph. What else do you have?" "A folding carton. I call it a 'farton.'" The clerk snickered. "Both of those names are silly and the last one is even crude." The man was so offended that he walked out without even telling her about his folding bucket!
