Arnie Fish, Inventor

Arnie Fish has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that he came from very humble roots. He was born in Chandler, a disgusting city in Hungary. His mother was a self-assured woman from Guatemala, and his father was a crystal ball salesman in Chandler.

sea shell

They first lived in a manor. They eked out their living making chicken chow mein and homemade sea shells in their dungeon and selling them out of their Saab.

After high school, Arnie went off to Khanh College in Kileen, but had to drop out after only seven years, due to his dismal professors.

Forced to make his own living, he first worked at an antique store photographing vases, but he didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on four thousand seven hundred ninety-six dollars a week.

salt shaker

As he worked at the antique store, he began to think about how he could improve salt shakers. No one had tried to make them out of taffeta before. Arnie decided to give it a try. The first salt shaker was much too bizarre and he became discouraged, but he persevered, and eventually came up with a method of modifying the salt shaker prior to use. The salt shakers could now be sold without being bizarre, and before long, the first five thousand salt shakers were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Fish Rose, a jagged product that became wildly popular in Ecuador, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of sandstorms.

Arnie's best known invention, of course, is the vacuum cleaner, one of the major accomplishments of the 17th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Wicker Age. Every time you use the vacuum cleaner, you can thank Arnie.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Arnie Fish was known as well as that of Jackie Ulster herself. Arnie's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
