Invention of the day 9
A smart watch that counts your beers and has the power of attorney over your accounts so it can freeze your cards when further consumption might lead to a life threatening fall for the watch.
It’d be pretty handy if the thing could also serve up the odd Berroca. Watch’s got legs.
Better still, and here’s another new invention, a Berocca in coconut water with Panadol and Quickeze added.
Looking back on it I was fooled by two things.
Firstly, the beverage was called Tui, which lulled me into thinking I was drinking a singular Tooheys. I was not – the stuff has all that lethal craft beer rubbish in it.
I should have known better – anything with East India Pale Ale as a byline shouldn’t be dark brown.
Secondly, they were pints not schooners and they arrived by themselves, fueled by the well-healed graciousness of my fellow traveling wedding guests.
In this regards the smart phone invention wouldn’t have helped on this occasion but I am sure it could have intervened by some other means.
An inbuilt tranquilizer injection capability maybe? I just saw this idea on an old Get Smart episode where the injection device was in Max’s ring. Ok, I am rambling now, back to sleep.
