Wolfie has just come back from a night out and he's feeling quite humurous and out of the blue came this weird invention, see what you think.
If I can patent it, maybe I could be as rich as Billy Gates!Ok, here's Wolfie's invention, you know your remote control which you use for the television, you can press 'mute' and higher or lower the volume as you see fit!Well, what if you could have a remote control that worked on people!If someone was talking too fast you could press a button to slow them down
If someone was talking too loudly, you could turn the volume down, ideal if you are on a train and someone is speaking on their mobile with a megaphone voice, no problem just simply hit the volume control button on your remote and hey presto the annoying person on the phone is MUTE!Or if someone swears at you, you could record it, so they can't turn round and say I never said that
If someone never listens to you, you could playback your voice over and over and over again without getting a sore throat!You get the picture!I'm sure you could think of more ways a remote control for people would be useful, at home, at work even or out on a night on the tiles
What do you reckon the RRP (recommended retail price) should be for one of these beauties!Bout time I had a 'comical' discussion instead of those boring depressing ones I used to have eh!Hope that made you smile and made you think too!

See we were seperated at birth - the number of times I have pointed a remote control at someone and tried to mute them - unfortunately it has never worked! I do have some ideas but I better not air them here - or you would definitely get a mature content tag! lol xxxx

That would have to be the greatest thing in the whole world. I could mute my boss and my kids. Hit the stop button and fastforward rewind. Oh my a person could get in trouble with a gizmo like that but oh the fun. But you know sometimes i would like to have something like that mayself to rewind my life and fix some of the broken pieces but there is not such thing so u just have to glue it back together and move on and make the best out of what you have left. I know to that there was times in my life i wished would never end so the still frame or the pause button would be nice to have sometimes as well. Hope you can invent this wolfie i know u would be rich everyone would want one for sure.;

I would love to have one of those remotes. My boyfriends 15 year old son talks constantly and he is very loud. I would be muting him all the time.lol. I bet one of those remotes would be very expensive but worth every penny.

You invent it, I'll buy it! I don't care what the price. I am losing my hearing as I get older and find myself saying "What?" over and over. I've often wished I had a remote to turn up the grandkids, cause each time I say what they either repeat it softer or say never mind. When I say what to my kids, they go off on a long explanation as though I am stupid. I finally made them understand they just need to repeat exactly what they said, cause I probably only missed one or two words.
Anyhow, I think it's a great idea. And don't forget captioning, sometimes it's just easier to read the words that try to hear them.

I'd be one of your first customers, would often use the mute button on all of those annoying loud cellphone users. Love to mute some other ignorant co-workers as well

Heck yes- Sign me up- I think it should start at $1,000,000.00- I know it would be worth it- I would love one- for work, home, and everywhere else- Like the grocery store- for the lady in front of me chatting it up with the cashier- hence slowing her down- I would mute the lady- I’d love for the remote to not only work on our mouths but also our bodies- I’d speed the cashiers arms up- : ) How about in bed- too loud- lower the voice! Lol.. Oh sign me up for this – I’m paying!

WOW- I could use one of those- there are so many I would love to mute!!!! I have friends that talk way to fast and some that talk way to slow. I would love to rewind conversation and arguements I have had with my husband to prove him wrong..LOL and to remind him of those special times we shared. And mostly to rewind back to the days when those of my friends and family who have passed on were still here- my dad-Sam, my sister in law-Karen (also my best friend), my other best friend- Ricky, my firends mom- Mrs C--- these and so many more because I miss them so much and would love to sit and watch some of those moments shared eith them again and again-- thanks for posting this-- let me know what the selling price is- this is a must have!!!!!!

Wolfie, talking about a fun remote control you can use on people, have you ever thought of inventing one for men to use on their girlfriends? I bet that one will be a best-seller among the males who have girlfriends. This is a unique business opportunity, where you can be rich and famous overnight if you're successful! How about giving it a shot? But if you can't invent one that works, maybe you can be a distributor for this one that has been invented (see picture). Either way, you can still seize the opportunity to make a name and fortune for yourself.

Lol... nice invention, but I can't stop saying that it's crazy! Lol... however this is an interesting invention and I would glad to have one. But I think this remote control will have a lot of problem if it is sold to the public. It can be abused and people will start to question about the abuse of rights of privacy. But if it sold to the right person, i.e. to those who will use it only for practical uses, I can see that it can save us a lot of humiliation and suffering. For example we can stop murder, accidents, fights, gossiping and many other things because we can always reverse and forward the action of a person's repeatedly. In other words, we control life now! (wow) This is huge and maybe the price for one would be USD20k.

What a fantastic invention. I would buy one straight away.
I would record my voice for my son.."Get up, Get dressed, Get to school, Eat your dinner, Get in the bath, Get out the bath, Brush your teeth, GO TO BED!!"
I would take it to work and mute the kids when they have their mad half hour after lunch. Mute the annoying mobile phone users on the bus...do I really want to know how many stops you have left till you meet your friends.
I would fast forward my partners rants and delete the losers who always tend to harrass me when I am out.
Finally is there a special button that breaks the tv remote when a man gets his hands on it. My partner is Heir Flick and it drives me crazy.
I would pay alot of money to get my hands on one of these. Have you thought of taking it to Dragons Den..even if you don't get a deal, you could mute the wankers!!! Now that would be Priceless.
