Armand Bowe has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that he came from very humble roots. He was born in Podunk Hollow, an excellent city in Brazil. His mother was a friendly woman from Ireland, and his father was a pharmacist in Podunk Hollow.

They first lived in a monastery. They eked out their living making French fries and homemade pop bottles in their study and selling them out of their Saab.
After high school, Armand went off to Hawaii College in Podunk Hollow, but had to drop out after only six years, due to his furry personality.
Forced to make his own living, he first worked at a beauty salon blackening guns, but he didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on one thousand seven hundred eight dollars a week.

As he worked at the beauty salon, he began to think about how he could improve saws. No one had tried to make them out of gold before. Armand decided to give it a try. The first saw was much too bronze and he became discouraged, but he persevered, and eventually came up with a method of delivering the saw prior to use. The saws could now be sold without being bronze, and before long, the first seven hundred saws were sold.
The next invention was to become known as the Bowe Nail, a cotton product that became wildly popular in Cuba, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of pelting rainstorms.
Armand's best known invention, of course, is opium, one of the major accomplishments of the 21st Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Aluminum foil Age. Every time you use opium, you can thank Armand.
Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Armand Bowe was known as well as that of Lear Esposito himself. Armand's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
