It is a quote attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson, and its a term used to inspire people of all walks of life to take something good and make it better. Since working here at zymetrical this writer has stumbled upon in his opinion a better mouse trap. It is called, the self inflating whoopee cushion.
Whoever invented this product is no less than a genius on the level of Albert Einstein. To take such a joyous prank, as the whoopee cushion, and transform it into an even more convenient gag is simply amazing. One can only imagine the level of excitement when the new product hit our warehouse.
This new and improved cushion contains a layer of foam and a small hold that allows it to reform and self inflate after use. This is a great advancement because gone are the days of hurting cheeks and frustrated lips, having to manually fill the prank over and over again. This new technology in farting pranks allows a level of ease and comfort that is unsurpassed in any other field.
In today’s high pasted world of technological advancement this products shines above so many other modern practical jokes. One can only imagine what the future holds for the whoopee cushions. Perhaps we will one day see a fully invisible cushion. Until then we have this miracle in science to keep us smiling and laughing, at the sound of flatulence. So thank you, whoever you are that had the great idea to build a better mouse trap.
