The same formula j is used in making a serious in- | ventior. as in a humorous one. It j just depends on the intentions of the inventor.” Barhett said he would illustrate how examples of serious inven tions have been taken humorous ly. He cited the steam engine, automobiles, and the airplane when first introduced as ex amples. He said he woulci also in clude inventions that were in tended as obvious jokes.
