My next invention

A ladder for going down wells

Have you noticed when you use a ladder the feet are at the bottom? well this is fine if all you want to do is climb up the thing, like for cleaning upstairs windows, or clearing out guttering,
but it is no use if you want to go down a well so I am going to invent a ladder with the feet at the top, and sell them to well workers.

Derek~~~~

LOL You'll go far mate




















































preferably as far away as possible!!

Could I go to the top of the ladder? which in this case would be the bottom, unless I invented a universal ladder with feet at the top and the bottom, but then I wouldn't know if I was going up or coming down.

Sorry mate, this has already been done..
Ok, it was an accident, as the builders were SUPPOSED to be putting up a chimney but had the plans upside down.. but they made and patented a ladder as you describe so they could work in the upside down chimney

Just my luck everything I have ever invented someone has beaten me to it, The wheel, Television, The Motor car, Electricity (funnily enough I invented that after I invented the Television), someone always gets there first. oh well back to the drawing board...Who invented the drawing board?

 

[Jaws]

Just had to look it up to confirm, but apparently Edward Mont de Drawingboard ( of the Rutland de Drawingboards ) was the inventor.. Interesting....

Wow! what a coincidence having the same name as his invention, same thing happened with bob lamppost.

Not quite but one of his employees Albert Giblin held British Patent 4990 for the "Silent Valveless Water Waste Preventer", Crapper most likely bought the patent from his employee and marketed the device himself. :loo:


Hat, Anorak R#?

hmmm..having tried to look up who invented the drawing board i suspect ive been indirectly "had" :blush: ..but came across this in the process.....you may see the reference in question #2


1. If a cow laughed real hard would milk come out its nose?
2. Before they invented drawing board what did they go back to?
3. Why is there an eject button on the VCR remote when you still have to get up and remove the tape.
4. If a 7-11 is open 24 hours a day 365 days a year the why do the doors have locks?
5.If quitters never win and winners never quit then where does "quit while you are ahead" come from?
6.There are 24 hours in a day and 24 beers in a case. Coincidence?
7. What color is a chameleon on a mirror?
8. What color would a smurf turn if you choked it?
9. What do little birdies see when they get knocked unconscious?
10. What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
11. Whose cruel idea was it for the word "lisp" to have an s in it?
12. Why are they called stands when they are made for sitting?
13. Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?
14. Would a fly without wings be called a walk?
