Great Gift Idea!

  • Posted on March 30, 2008

Where can I buy this device that warns a person when he is boring or irritating? I’d love to pass this around at a barbecue or some other social gathering so neurotypical people can realize this whole concept of being ‘unpleasant’ to be around is a two-way street. Wouldn’t that be a fun game?!

And ‘they’ label us as being self-centered?! . . . okay, whatever.

    Fifteen years ago I developed the ‘bullshit detector’ a simple device – how I longed to take it into my nearby industrial customer. Actually its a simple battery, led and a ‘push to make’ switch mounted on circuit board. Push the switch it lights up, strangely it flashes like crazy in the presence of twaddle. Others hate it! Not that its ever been beyond these four walls.

    So that’s what you do in your workshop Dr. Victor Frankenstein! :)

    Imagine if everyone has a ‘bullshit detector’ and everyone knows they do — wait a minute… isn’t it kind of like that already? After all, that’s why people casually say ‘everyone lies.’ It’s as if bullshit is what the world expects, but yet being honest is what’s becoming unacceptable.
