I just had to make a new cup of tea because a fly flew into the first one.

Good because I thought that was a clever one Siggy.
Which reminds of another short lived invention.
And this one is for real.
Paper dresses from the 60's.
Did you ever hear of those?

I did hear of paper dresses and lots of other paper made garments Warren
I think the idea was to have great looking short term garments that were recyclable but they ran into issue with water, ink bleed and durability.
I could see them making a comeback though for White Parties and Freak Outs if that ever takes off

Yeah, can't wear them in the rain and I think folks don't see the point in a one or two time use investment.
And there were problems with the paper cuts from the underwear and bras.
Welp, so much for my idea for a toothpick car!

Patterns are made out of paper so I am going to put together shirts and pants ones using staples and tape, spray paint them and then wear it!

Well with modern techniques you could probably do anything you want and have some waterproofness and more durability about it Warren
Hemp isn't too far removed from paper and clothing is made out of that these days

Do you have more hemp products in Scotland than we do in America?
It used to be some kind of miracle product for rope and paper.
Then once marijuana became illegal so did hemp even though they are two different things.
Hemp has not made a comeback or is not as big as it used to be AFAIK.
Though I can dig it and wish it would.

Now that marijuana is legit in many parts of the US I see hemp coming back no problem Warren.
I'd even set up a business in it, that's who assured I am in how useful it is

Someone did have a hemp product business in my town even before weed was legal in any state.
I interviewed him for a very small, local paper.
I don't think that store is open anymore.

Hemp used to be very useful Warren, lots of things were made with it
But, once the other uses for it became apparent it was cast out by the religious Right at the time.
Now it is seen as an easier thing to have as a recreational drug but the main purposes of hemp have yet to come back into fruition. They will though, it's just a matter of everyone being used to it being a normal thing to have around.
You'd be surprised how much the alternatives to it are grown in place which you'd never consider visiting
I don't toke myself, but I'm not against it and I'm not against hemp being a proper alternative to wood/cotton

Hemp is the stuff that is used in products and there are no effects from smoking it.
Marijuana, pot, weed, grass is the stuff to smoke or ingest for medical or recreational use.
I would think that hemp would have made a comeback now with pot being legal in more states.
I dunno.
I would like it if it did.
We shall see.
BTW: Pot is still illegal in my state, which is stupid.
So I went to a neighboring state where it is legal to get some.
Ask me anything about that if you want to.
