Good Afternoon,

I really want an electric razor for Christmas. I've been good all year long and I could definitely use it. And if you saw my back you'd probably buy me one.

Some may think that an electric razor is an absurd invention, but I think it's a rather ingenious one. Today, you can learn about some of the most absurd inventions ever, eh, invented.

They need to invent another word that means "invented."

Mouthing Off,
Carl
