MOTORING REVOLUTIONISED!
BRILLIANT invention
Sir Joshua Torment, the well-known inventor and polygamist, who has a bright idea every time he has a bath, has hit on another corker which promises to cut motoring on a new footing “I call it The Torment ‘Quikkerpik,’ ” he told our representative yesterday. "It is a combined toothpick and screenwiper, and there is also a gadget on it for picking stones out.of a horse’s hoof. Think of the boon it will be to picnickers. One flick and the screen is as clean as a whistle; another flick and yesterday’s ham is removed from the lower bicuspids. With the aid of a little gadget which I call the •Hebrewtuner,’ which costs very little more, the ‘Quikkerpik’ can also be played like a Jew’s harp.” The "Quikkerpik” is not yet on the market “Sir Joshua has left me the job of correcting one or two slight faults,” said his mechanic furiously. “At present it has a tendency to smash the screen and tear out a few teeth, but the general idea of the thing is all right.”
