Today I am wearing my favourite jumper. It is multicoloured and very warm.

However, a colleague has just told me in passing that it makes me look twelve. This isn't a problem, I have ID if required. But...

I figure a jumper which takes 15 years off your age has got to be a saleable commodity. What am I bid ?

Surely its only saleable if it works universally? You need to perform more tests first. For example, what happens if you put this jumper on a 16 year old? do they really look like a baby who can't walk or talk (apart from mayeb to say "egg"). What about a 14 year old? Do they look like a woman's rather large stomach?

I think more scientific tests are required before you can reasonably suggest it will take 15 years off of anybody's age. :)

Bloody mathematicians, always going for the pathological cases...

I've just seen this kind of marketing before...

I was very disappointed that when I bough an all-weather coat that it didn't produce any weather at all, let alone all weathers. Since then I've been very cautious about buying anything without checking the claims out carefully. :)

How do you know it didn't produce any weather ? Did you wear it outside ? Was there weather ?

Obviously, EU regulations require such devices to be blocked from operating indoors for safety reasons.
