Years ago (late 70's) I was at the beach and wondered how people that are by themselves applied sunscreen to their backs.

I thought of something that kind of looked like a hand on a stick that had a way of being filled with sunscreen, with a button on the handle to dispense the lotion.

Saw something like that years later in Destin and figured I'd missed a good business opportunity idea.

This is going to sound ridiculous, but here goes. A girl I used to date, her mom’s friend’s husband invented the yellow first down line that you see on tv during football games. She said he got something like $.01-.03 every time it is used on tv (which is a shitload).

Yes.

Face recognition technology utilized in an App to create realistic emoji's.

This was well over 5 years ago. Called it "Me-Oji"


Everyone laughed.....

I wanted to buy an old bank with the drive thru tubes and open a hotdog/corndog joint where I could shoot them to customers. Maybe call it Rocket Dogs or something

Either that or time travel. Kudos either way.

Not stolen, but my cousin and I talked about starting a website where folks could buy and sell event tickets long before Stubhub and the like was a thing. Of course, back then we had no idea how the internet/site-building worked.

You should team up with the poster who a couple weeks ago had the idea to rip arse into the canister and send it to the teller. A couple of the brightest minds in the world of bank tube delivery services.
