A storm was in the Gulf of Mexico and it was time to prepare. One man
measured his windows and got $300 from the bank to protect his windows.
Arriving at the hardware store, he went to the lumber section to price
the 1/2" plywood. Calculating the cost left him with $60 for hardware
with which to secure the plywood. He approached one of the salesmen in
the lumber section and asked for recommendations on securing the
plywood. The salesman took him to the nuts and bolts section, pointed
him at the confusing array of choices and wished him good luck.
Frustrated at the lack of a clean solution, the man went to another
store.
At this second store, he went straight to the hardware section (he
already had a price for plywood). Once there, he asked a salesman for
suggestions on securing plywood to his home to protect the windows. Once
again, there was no clean solution.
A third store produced no different result.
Two things happened as a result of this frustrating experience. One
was that his windows were not protected (luckily, the storm did not come
ashore). The second was the invention of PLYLOX. |
