Another Nobel in the Making?

Make all the fuss you want to about Israeli advances in medicine… physics… microbiology… semiconductors… cellular technology. As far as I’m concerned, I just stumbled across the most important Israeli innovation of the decade!

Yesterday I bought a container of Israeli windshield-wiper fluid at my local gas station… and it contained (I can’t even believe I’m writing this!), exactly the same amount of mysterious blue liquid as my car’s reservoir holds!

That’s right… when I finished pouring it into the reservoir there was nothing left in the container.

Not. One. Drop.

No, really!

For years I’ve driven around the US with partially filled gallon jugs of wiper fluid sloshing around in my trunk. Apparently the greatest minds at the US wiper fluid laboratories have never been able to reconcile the fact that not one car manufacturer on earth builds a car with a one gallon wiper fluid reservoir. It should be obvious, but nobody could see it.

It’s like that guy who picked up the little plastic table from his daughter’s Barbie Playhouse and thought to himself “say… this would be perfect to put in the middle of a pizza to keep the top of the box from falling into the cheese!”

The solution only seems obvious when a great mind reveals it to us.

Each year there are six Nobel Prizes awarded… one each for Literature, Economics, Chemistry, Physics, Medicine and Peace. It’s a shame that none of these categories are sufficiently broad to be able to accommodate ‘significant advances in automotive fluid packaging’.

Imagine…

Yet another Nobel going to a Jew: Big Yawn.

The panel of Swedish judges handing the Nobel Prize to a mechanic from South Tel Aviv named ‘Dudu’: Priceless!
