If you could invent something and make it work
what would it be?

I would invent gum that didn't lose its flavor. Either that, or a free love machine.

3. You only make one trip in a teleportation device...

17. Kleenex that won't stick
I am feeling in a PG rated mood so I won't explain why. If I take a leap of faith and get lucky in changing careers by taking that leap, I actually could have the chance to invent that.
