Ideas that didn't make it

[dp]

In the current issue of the home town paper "The Okanogan Valley Gazzette", (North Central Washington) there's a story about a colorful fellow who held many jobs over the years from air mech to graphic artist, to traveling salesman, milkman, chef, logger.... typical of the depression years. You did what you could to eat.

George Daly passed away at 96. Claimed his favorite job was working for the Washington Fish and Game department in the 1930s. He was on Lake Washington for the first fish plantings by air - they dropped the fish from aircraft in 5 gallon buckets. They "mostly survived".

Reminds me of WKRP Cincinnati:

Any other "DOA" ideas out there?

DOA-present: Scooter for a one-legged.
DOA-idea of a bike-mechanic I know: When I use the tap on the other side of the nut, I do have to rotate it the other way round.

The ejector seat on a helicopter...

Actualy some helicopters HAVE ejection seats.
The trick is they mount the rotar blades to the rotar with explosive bolts.
Blow the bolts and the rotars fly out sideways to the helicopter. Hope your not flying next to it.
