    I had a funny idea the other day that I think could actually be profitable as it may become a mandatory safety feature if it works.

    Barney Rubble installed in the rear of a trailer! When a trucks breaks burn out and they start cruising out of control down the hill you press the ol' Flintsones button. Barney (a large hydrolic metal sled) drops from the rear of the trailer and digs his feet into the road, allowing the operator to reduce speed using the engine and the sled friction.

    It would probably make a mess of the road but it might save some lives.

    Stay tuned next week when I introduce the Lot Lizard Air Bag. It has a pressure sensitive trigger that is activated when knocking occurs on your door at ungodly hours.:biggrin_2554:
     
    Baack Thanks this.
