An invention idea

As I was driving my new Porsche back to Florida from Kansas City I passed through the Tenessee Mountains. I see up ahead a U-Haul truck with a car trailer in tow pulled over to the side of the road. On the trailer was a really nice 60's Ford Fairlane with what looked to be 20" rims.

Oops! I forgot to mention 2 State Troopers had these 2 black guys pulled over. It appeared they were having these guys open their trunk on the Fairlane for a search. It also appeared they had already searched the back of the U-Haul.

So here is my idea.

I design and develop a mask and arm sleeves that you can wear and will not sweat in. Something comfortable. The mask will make you look like a 50-60 year old white man. This would prove itself invaluable when driving in the Tenessee or even Volusia County (Daytona Area) Florida. I mentioned this to a black co-worker and they thought it was a brilliant idea. I think it would be a hot seller.

A can of white spray might be more practical. Something like a WASP aerosol...

Didn't you see? They failed to use their turn signal when they changed lanes. Even if they had your invention, they still would have been stopped!

It had to be Bush's fault. He saw them from the helo and called the cops in.

Hmmm...maybe your invention might help one of dark skin in the aftermath of a hurricane.

Some places have laws against wearing masks in public other than for festive occasions.... For all the obvious criminal reasons.
