Wanna Make A Lot of Money?

Invent a grass trimmer that isn't based on a piece of plastic string spinning round and round on a little spool.  That always runs out or jams when you've only got about 10 feet left to trim.  And so you take off the plastic cover and replace the string.  And you put the ends of the string through the little holes but it always loses tension and you have to take the spool out again to rewind it.  And then you put the spring back in but the cover never seems to line up on all four sides at the same time.  And you press and you twist and you push and you get so frustrated you just want to throw that damn cover. But you don't.  Because then you'd never find it in the brush.  So you sit down on the rock to cool off. And then you try it again, maybe you even talk nicely to the cover.  And so finally you get it on and start to finish that last 10 feet and the thing jams again and won't spit out any new string.

So yeah, invent something that isn't based on a piece of plastic string spinning round and round on a little spool.  And then go on one of those shows like Dragon's Den or Shark Tank.  And they'll give you lots of money for your invention because they all have lawns and they all hate their trimmers too. And then your trimmer will be hailed as the greatest invention of the 20th Century.  And you'll make so much money you'll never have to work again in your whole life.  And you'll even be able to hire somebody to cut your grass and do the trimming.

Yeah, invent one of those.  And I'll buy one.
