Mookie O'Sullivan, Inventor

Mookie O'Sullivan has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that he came from very humble roots. He was born in Ontario, a gaudy city in Jordan. His mother was an agile woman from Bahrain, and his father was a television newscaster in Ontario.

They first lived in a convent. They eked out their living making beef bouillon and homemade bottles of perfume in their front porch and selling them out of their hovercraft.

After high school, Mookie went off to Wisconsin College in Honolulu, but had to drop out after only four years, due to his obedient personality.

Forced to make his own living, he first worked at a coffee shop staining shovels, but he didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on nine hundred eighty dollars a week.

As he worked at the coffee shop, he began to think about how he could improve notebooks. No one had tried to make them out of sod before. Mookie decided to give it a try. The first notebook was much too disgusting and he became discouraged, but he persevered, and eventually came up with a method of burning the notebook prior to use. The notebooks could now be sold without being disgusting, and before long, the first four hundred notebooks were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the O'Sullivan Diamond, a smooth product that became wildly popular in Korea, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of typhoons.

Mookie's best known invention, of course, is the helicopter, one of the major accomplishments of the 21st Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Feather Age. Every time you use the helicopter, you can thank Mookie.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Mookie O'Sullivan was known as well as that of Joseph Elwood himself. Mookie's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
