----------------------------------------------------------------------- TRUE STORY OF THE WEEK Tokyo commuter Katsuo Katugoru caused havoc on a crowded tube train when his inflatable underpants unexpectedly went off. The rubber underwear was made by Katsuo himself, and designed to inflate to 30 times their original size in the event of a tidal wave. "I am terrified of water, and death by drowning is my greatest fear" said Katsuo, 48. "Unfortunately I set them off accidently while looking for a boiled sweet on a rush hour train. They were crushing everybody in the carriage until a passenger stabbed them with a pencil." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am attempting to contact Katsuo as I type, Sea Slacker magazine has allready promised to promote these amazing new devices. I hope to convince Katsuo to reengineer his shorts so that the inflation takes place above the waistline; first on one side to right the kayak, then on the other side to keep the kayak upright - Banzai Self Righting Shorts - Banzai Self Righting Speedofloats for those more physically fit. (Note to self: Get patent application started before that Tim guy starts suing to make his shorts mandatory accessories for all sea yaks.) Sincerely, Brian (gonna make a million) Heifner. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Apr 07 1998 - 14:20:32 PDT
