    "People have been travelling by car for 100 years. My invention is not done by the time expected."

    Phil has invented a chemical toilet for cars. One size fits all cars and people. It is made from recycled materials. "It never smells bad," he says. Before used, it can be stored in the trunk. When the toilet is full, an adult or child can compress(挤压) it into the size of a bowling ball. The waste matter in the toilet is continuously being taken in by chemicals. All the waste matter even turns into a lot of dry crumbs. The toilet can be, dropped into any trash can at any time.

    Phil tested his invention while on a two-week vacation with his wife and four young kids. He said that the kids loved it but his wife didn't.

    "Nothing on earth could make me, use that disgusting thing!" she told him. He said to her sincerely that he had invented the toilet mainly for women and kids. He needed a woman's encouragement so the toilet would sell. "No women would ever use this thing!" she answered.

    "My wife is a prude (拘守礼仪的人),"Phil said one day to Bret, his workmate. After much thought, Phil finally figured out how to make his wife love his invention: he made a pink toilet covered with yellow flowers. "What more could a woman want?" he asked while showing it to Bret. Bret said it was a beautiful and practical gift. And since his wife's birthday was the following week, Bret ordered a toilet. "Your wife will remember this birthday forever!" Phil promised Bret.
