Stanley Glover, Inventor

Stanley Glover has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that he came from very humble roots. He was born in Delhi, a gleaming city in Cuba. His mother was a stinky woman from Georgia, and his father was an illustrator in Delhi.

They first lived in a duplex. They eked out their living making oatmeal and homemade cigarette lighters in their atrium and selling them out of their Barracuda.

After high school, Stanley went off to Indiana College in Ontario, but had to drop out after only five years, due to his drowsy personality.

Forced to make his own living, he first worked at a brewery shaking clothespins, but he didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on one thousand one hundred fourteen dollars a week.

As he worked at the brewery, he began to think about how he could improve screwdrivers. No one had tried to make them out of epoxy before. Stanley decided to give it a try. The first screwdriver was much too striking and he became discouraged, but he persevered, and eventually came up with a method of categorizing the screwdriver prior to use. The screwdrivers could now be sold without being striking, and before long, the first four hundred screwdrivers were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Glover Chamber pot, a filthy product that became wildly popular in Denmark, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of floods.

Stanley's best known invention, of course, is sticky notes, one of the major accomplishments of the 19th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Sewage Age. Every time you use sticky notes, you can thank Stanley.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Stanley Glover was known as well as that of Lonnie Munich himself. Stanley's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
