Falling on Hard Times

As many of you know, I live in a mansion in Alberta... and I make a few million dollars a year. Lately though, I invested much of that money into a developing, patenting, and manufacturing a new invention. I call the invention, "Shoe-Brella". It's a pretty simple device, but one that I thought would revolutionize a rainy day and the fashion industry. Well, back in August, I got the patent approved for the "Shoe-Brella". Patent Number 12ABOP392.2.

Needless to say, I was pretty darn excited. I immidiately went into the production phase of my invention. The company that I went through and I produced about 50,000 Shoe-Brellas for sale across the United States and Canada. I was pretty sure I could find a large market in Portland and Seattle. It rains a lot there, so the Shoe-Brella should be in high demand throughout that entire region. When I went to sell the product to area store, no one was overly interested. I gave out a few hundred samples and many places said they would call me back.

That was a month and a half ago and not one person has ordered more Shoe-Brellas. It is pretty dis-heartening, to say the least. I'm still keeping my hopes up. Next week, I'm taking a few samples to southern Califonia.

Anyway, I'm pretty much financially ruined, unless someone starts buying the Shoe-Brella en masse. I've moved out of my mansion and I'm living in an apartment pretty close to the station. Hopefully, my fortunes will turn around and my fortune will increase once again. We'll find out someday.

Just wanted to let you all know. Please pray that people will find the Shoe-Brella useful. I mean, it's very useful... one of the number one complaints when it rains is wet feet and now there is a way to protect your shoes and your feet.

The Shoe-Brella. Working Hard to Keep Your Feet Dry-ella.
