Arturo Custer, Inventor

Arturo Custer has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that he came from very humble roots. He was born in Fairbanks, an important city in Haiti. His mother was an angry woman from Iraq, and his father was a handyman in Fairbanks.

They first lived in a quonset hut. They eked out their living making doughnuts and homemade pots in their family room and selling them out of their Audi.

After high school, Arturo went off to Oklahoma College in Rotterdam, but had to drop out after only six years, due to his crazy personality.

Forced to make his own living, he first worked at a pub ridiculing apples, but he didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on two thousand seven hundred twenty dollars a week.

As he worked at the pub, he began to think about how he could improve teacups. No one had tried to make them out of cow pie before. Arturo decided to give it a try. The first teacup was much too wet and he became discouraged, but he persevered, and eventually came up with a method of gripping the teacup prior to use. The teacups could now be sold without being wet, and before long, the first eight hundred teacups were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Custer Church key, a polished product that became wildly popular in Lower Slobbovia, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of dust storms.

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

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Arturo Custer was known as well as that of Marcus Weatherford himself. Arturo's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
