The Birthday Boy, seen here last winter in Dr. Cornelius McGillicuddy's Amazing Golf Shot
Straightener Machine that he bought at a garage sale for $8. This contraption was all
the rage in 1906 but fell quickly out of favor after several inadvertent electrocutions. It has
been called by some watchdog groups "almost as dangerous as jarts." This is thought
to be the only one remaining in the U.S. (Two still exist in Scotland.)

Some guys will do anything to improve their game, especially RJ. Let's
hope it works. All the Best on Your Big Day Brother!
Rich, you're gonna look awful funny on the golf course in that getup, but whatever works best for you. Happy Birthday! - Love, JP
ReplyDeleteWasn't McGillicuddy the one who later patented Rhemiashoo, the laxative that was initially popular then ultimately recalled when subjects were literally found to have "shit their brains out" (the origin of the phrase that survives the doctor). "His genius was lethal" was how the British press described him...
ReplyDeleteSame bloke, MJ. (Can't believe you knew that!) On a more positive note (sort of), Dr. McGillicuddy also invented and popularized the clip-on bowtie (which later gave birth to bow-tie pasta when he visited Palermo, Sicily, in 1889)....
