Title: Weird phone inventions!

This comes from the USA patents office:

Kids like to talk on the phone, or at least they often pretend to talk on the phone, imitating their parents.  And unfortunately, some kids have respiratory ailments that require them to inhale aerosol medications.  But JR. may not see an inhaler as a necessary evil and could put up a struggle while you are trying to administer relief.  So what's a helpful but harried parent to do?  Gas them with the telephone! 

Next time JR. needs his inhaler, ask him to pick up his special new phone. The phone has a pre-recorded message or music playing into the earpiece.  When JR. opens his mouth in awe or boredom, push the magic button and an aerosol spray of his medication comes spewing out from the phones mouthpiece, gassing him before he knows what hit 'em.  Now we're all for helping parents with this tricky task, but even our cat is smart enough to realize that you can gas me once or gas me twice, but third time that phone makes an appearance, it's time to run in the opposite direction.

The "harried parent" should force their kids to take their medicine.  Hold them down and shove it in their mouth.  How hard is that?  Makes a lot more sense than playing a mean trick on them that's only going to work once.

This sounds like a cover so terrorists can infect us with small pox or something.
