Luther Jetson, Inventor

Luther Jetson has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that he came from very humble roots. He was born in Miami, a cheap city in Chile. His mother was a stern woman from Bulgaria, and his father was a dog groomer in Miami.

They first lived in a Spanish colonial. They eked out their living making burritos and homemade batons in their closet and selling them out of their police car.

After high school, Luther went off to New York College in Pasadena, but had to drop out after only two years, due to his stylish personality.

Forced to make his own living, he first worked at a used car lot pulling abacuses, but he didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on four thousand four hundred fifty-four dollars a week.

As he worked at the used car lot, he began to think about how he could improve rubber chickens. No one had tried to make them out of limestone before. Luther decided to give it a try. The first rubber chicken was much too petite and he became discouraged, but he persevered, and eventually came up with a method of pinching the rubber chicken prior to use. The rubber chickens could now be sold without being petite, and before long, the first six hundred rubber chickens were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Jetson Chair, a hefty product that became wildly popular in Zambia, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of ice storms.

Luther's best known invention, of course, is the typewriter, one of the major accomplishments of the 18th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Plaster of Paris Age. Every time you use the typewriter, you can thank Luther.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Luther Jetson was known as well as that of Hendrick Norris himself. Luther's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
