(I’m not sure why this didn’t post yesterday - i just realized this morning that it didn’t post.  I guess that means I don’t have to write anything new today!)

My dad says he invented the automatic seatbelt. You know the kind that is attached to the car door? I have no reason to doubt his claim. He doesn’t brag much. He exercises quite a bit of, well, self-restraint. The problem is he does not actually receive a royalty check or patent payments. Someone else developed the idea and has secured the bragging rights.

I’m taking credit for the idea to have an ATM keypad on the pew for the church offering. Like father like son - someone has cashed in on my million dollar idea.

Special thanks to my friend Zeke for sending me the picture and this article.

So, let’s hear it. What million dollar (or $1.95) ideas have you had that someone else has actually developed, marketed and named their luxury yacht after?
