It's a Guy Thing

Man may have invented the wheel, but it was a Guy who first looked at an ordinary pogo stick and realized it would be greatly improved by the addition of a combustible-gas-powered engine; a Guy who invented a high-five simulator so he’d never be left hanging again; a Guy who dared to dream of airbag boxer shorts to protect that which he holds most dear.

It’s not difficult to imagine these bold inventors reclining in front of their TVs (or Victrolas), one hand resting halfway down their boxers, the other holding a beer, when inspiration struck! Unfortunately, what they envisioned as the next lightbulb was, in actuality, the first toilet lounger.

Now you, too, can experience that same thrill of discovery with It’s a Guy Thing, a collection of actual patented inventions taken directly from the collective mind of the American Guy —by way of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Compiled for the amusement of every Guy (and every woman who knows one), these often ridiculous, frequently misguided, yet rarely well-thought-out creations may even inspire you to do a little inventing of your own—but you can forget about the Human Catapult. A Guy named Ted already holds the patent.

Cool Games That Guys Came Up With

Bob’s Game Involving Manipulation of a Suspended Object by Bodily Movements of Cooperating Players

PATENTED 1961

Guys have long-standing relationships with their plumbing tools, particularly the plunger. And with good reason. Over and over and over again they have been saved from embarrassment and humiliation by the unclogging capabilities of their deformable rubber buddies, and we’re just talking about last Thanksgiving.

Now guys can take that relationship a step further, from business to pleasure, with Bob’s Game Involving Manipulation of a Suspended Object by Bodily Movements of Cooperating Players. Never before have “bodily movements” and plungers been brought together in such a fun and entertaining manner. It’s the reason plumbers are no longer allowed to work in pairs.

Here’s how it works: Two teammates support between their bodies a rod that holds a pendulum (ball and string) and, according to Bob, “By properly increasing the amplitude, the ... read full excerpt from: It's a Guy Thing ebook
