Once there was a very silly man and he was also a very sad man. Because every time he invested in something, he lost his shirt. Poor, silly man. He went to this big, big fair. And, this feller tried to get him to invest in his wonderful invention, that was "going to change the world"! Well, the sad silly man, thought it was an "amusing toy", but he doubted that it had any practical value. So he laughed at the feller and refused to invest in it. Poor, poor silly little man.
But, Guess what?
The sad, silly man was Mark Twain, and the feller was Alexander Graham Bell. Guess what the "amusing toy" was ?

The BirdsEyes,and
Merlin.
Now, I might laugh!
