OK Caroll, maybe "the US Patent Office operates in head-up-butt mode
every day" but do they own the patent ? - And if they've got their
heads where you say, how can they find the head (= john) ?
Anyway, the EU doesn't have a head (=brain) at all but lots of
behinds (big, big ones) so I still believe I can take out a patent
on placing those butts in heads (=johns).
