  “People have been traveling by car for 100 years. My invention is long
overdue. Who hasn’t had an emergency while traveling? Sometimes you’re miles
from the nearest gas station or McDonald’s. Everyone knows that when you gotta
go, you gotta go,” said Phil Bole.
          Phil has invented a chemical toilet for vehicles. One size fits all
(vehicles and people). It is made from recycled materials. It never smells bad,
he claims. Between uses, it can be stored in the trunk. When the toilet is full,
an adult or child can compress it into the size of a bowling ball. The waste
matter in the toilet is continuously being absorbed by chemicals and bacteria.
Eventually, all the waste matter turns into a pile of dry crumbs.The toilet can
be dropped into any trash can at any time.
          Phil tested his invention while on a two-week vacation with his wife and
four young kids. He said that the kids loved it. His wife didn’t.
          “Nothing on Earth could make me use that disgusting thing!” she told him.
He pleaded with her, saying that he had invented the toilet primarily for women
and kids. He needed a woman’s blessing so the toilet would sell. “No woman would
ever use this thing!” she responded.
          “My wife’s sort of a prude,” Phil said one day to Bret, his mechanic. After
much thought, Phil finally figured out how to make his wife love his invention:
he made a pink toilet covered with yellow flowers. “What more could a woman
want?” he asked while showing it to Bret. Bret said it was a beautiful and a
practical gift. And since his wife's birthday was the following week, Bret
ordered a toilet. "Your wife will remember this birthday forever!" Phil promised
Bret.
