Some folks use descriptive jargon (or similes) to visually explain something in a quirky way.

  • As practical as eating a bowl of broth with chopsticks,
  • As effective as a one-legged man in an butt-kicking contest,
  • As useful as a screen door on a submarine.

You may have also heard (or said):

  • Needle in a haystack
  • Cat in a dog show
  • lead balloon

But, have you heard about
the absurd adventures of Albert Puddles?

He’s known far and wide for his remarkable ability to come up with ideas that were about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.

Things like:

  • A portable hole
  • Invisible rain boots & puddles
  • A self-emptying bucket
