Have I ever related to you the tale of my friend Brad Heinz? You know if you don't disembowel chickens in fairly short order it taints the meat, right. Well, my old bud Brad invented a machine that had an arm that kind of resembled a keyhole saw on the end of a rod. Went in the chicken carcass and drug out all the guts in one fell swoop....a chicken ******* plucker as it were. Sold the idea to some processing company, retired to Hawaii in his late 20's and built a mansion in the hills.

I just wish you didn’t have to drill two big holes in the saddle bags to install them. After everybody and their brother has them, I’d have get rid of them .

Amazing how some of the simplest ideas make ya rich beyond your dreams. I went to school with kids whose father invented that little plastic tab thingy on loaves of bread. Owned a company called Paxton Products. Up to that point his Dad did custom plastics manufacturing....then they moved to the BIG house.
Edit: Curiosity got the best of me and I googled. Apparently my friend had the basics right but grandpa was the inventor...

l take that back, it wasn’t a super soaker, it was that toy that looks like a tube with a shotgun grip on it that you put in the water, extend it, then collapse it to shoot the water out.
