Justin Binkley, Inventor

Justin Binkley has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that he came from very humble roots. He was born in Boulder, a nifty city in China. His mother was a disgusting woman from Cameroon, and his father was a stagehand in Boulder.

They first lived in a loft. They eked out their living making mashed potatoes and homemade boxes of Kleenex in their salon and selling them out of their Mercury Cougar.

After high school, Justin went off to Harrison College in Pueblo, but had to drop out after only four years, due to his forgetful professors.

Forced to make his own living, he first worked at an opera house cutting cream puffs, but he didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on three thousand one hundred two dollars a week.

As he worked at the opera house, he began to think about how he could improve orchids. No one had tried to make them out of copper before. Justin decided to give it a try. The first orchid was much too dirty and he became discouraged, but he persevered, and eventually came up with a method of blackening the orchid prior to use. The orchids could now be sold without being dirty, and before long, the first eight thousand orchids were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Binkley Needle and thread, an archaic product that became wildly popular in The Sandwich Islands, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of typhoons.

Justin's best known invention, of course, is Saran Wrap, one of the major accomplishments of the 18th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Junk car Age. Every time you use Saran Wrap, you can thank Justin.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Justin Binkley was known as well as that of Patricia Eklund herself. Justin's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
