Guido Beasley, Inventor

Guido Beasley has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that he came from very humble roots. He was born in Grand Prairie, an electric city in Myanmar. His mother was a crazy woman from New Zealand, and his father was a model in Grand Prairie.

They first lived in a mansion. They eked out their living making chopped liver and homemade boomerangs in their cage and selling them out of their convertible.

After high school, Guido went off to Wyoming College in Greensboro, but had to drop out after only seven years, due to his shiftless personality.

Forced to make his own living, he first worked at a bank dusting coins, but he didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on one thousand five hundred sixty-six dollars a week.

As he worked at the bank, he began to think about how he could improve water bottles. No one had tried to make them out of block of ice before. Guido decided to give it a try. The first water bottle was much too hand-carved and he became discouraged, but he persevered, and eventually came up with a method of loading the water bottle prior to use. The water bottles could now be sold without being hand-carved, and before long, the first five hundred water bottles were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Beasley Clothespin, a gruesome product that became wildly popular in Bermuda, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of earthquakes.

Guido's best known invention, of course, is frozen food, one of the major accomplishments of the 18th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Moss Age. Every time you use frozen food, you can thank Guido.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Guido Beasley was known as well as that of Grover Sewell himself. Guido's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
