To the person who invented air horns



Whatever gave you the idea humankind could use such a horrible thing??? You should be punished by sitting next to someone who is blowing at least one of these things. Day and night!!!

1. Agreed
Same goes for whoever invented megaphone tipped and glass-packed mufflers. They should be have to live in a house with someone driving a car supplied with one around the house 24/7.

2. The most perverse thing is
why is that called a "muffler"? The point of a muffler is to make the car quieter, but that particular thing is obviously designed to make it louder! That's not a muffler! That's an amplifier!

:hi:

3. Indeed
If they're going to add stuff to make it louder, why put a muffler on at all? :shrug:

4. I can accept megaphones
when used by the police or fire department to inform a whole group of people. But sure not for commercials and private things.

27. But have you checked for cougars in the 'hood?

I sympathize, MissHoneyChurch. I put up with lots of those needless noise machines when I lived in Boston.

...at most sporting events there's always a real loud drunk guy who always barfs in the seat in front of them or down the backs of the people in them.

21. The people he invented them for have justification
This device was invented for small boaters. You've got to have some kind of a signaling device on a boat, but if you've got a 14-foot jonboat with a rope-start engine you probably don't even have a battery. The air horn lets small boaters obey the law without having to run up a huge bill and spend a ton of time working on the boat installing it--because on a river in nice weather and broad daylight, where small boaters spend most of their time on the water, you may never use the signaling device the whole time you own the boat.

It's dumbasses who paint themselves blue before going to football games that ruined it for the rest of us.

24. Exactly right, jmowreader!
Used to sail a lot when I lived in MN. On foggy days, and getting stranded because the wind disappeared, having an air horn was absolutely necessary. It helped to get bring someone who could tow the sailboat back into dock.

26. That is a good use
but as said whoever came up with the idea to use it at football games or soccer games. And where I live there is no ocean near by
