Marv Emerson, Inventor

Marv Emerson has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that he came from very humble roots. He was born in Cairo, a miniature city in Samoa. His mother was a stern woman from Finland, and his father was a mystic in Cairo.

They first lived in a condominium. They eked out their living making Froot Loops and homemade rulers in their master bathroom and selling them out of their buggy.

After high school, Marv went off to Iowa College in Bangalore, but had to drop out after only two years, due to his unselfish personality.

Forced to make his own living, he first worked at an art gallery flattening corncobs, but he didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on two thousand nine hundred eighty dollars a week.

As he worked at the art gallery, he began to think about how he could improve garbage cans. No one had tried to make them out of precious gem before. Marv decided to give it a try. The first garbage can was much too polka-dotted and he became discouraged, but he persevered, and eventually came up with a method of stitching the garbage can prior to use. The garbage cans could now be sold without being polka-dotted, and before long, the first eight hundred garbage cans were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Emerson Pillow, a plain product that became wildly popular in Kosovo, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of sleet storms.

Marv's best known invention, of course, is the trampoline, one of the major accomplishments of the 21st Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Alpaca hair Age. Every time you use the trampoline, you can thank Marv.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Marv Emerson was known as well as that of Quinn Borovich himself. Marv's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
