On a tranquil night of television viewing, our family gathered around the for the “big reveal” on our favorite show. Before we had even gotten settled in, one of us—who shall remain nameless—abruptly blurted out the spoiler of the show’s ending. The offender’s spouse, who was understandably peeved, took immediate action. Instead of petty name calling or an exasperated “shut up,” she simply picked up a neck pillow, whacked the bonehead, and quipped, “You’ve just been boned!”
Ever since, THE BONE has been used to correct all sorts of familial offenses, ranging from rudeness to stupidity to forgetfulness. Its continued, regular use as the perfect head cushion, THE BONE (and its alternate function) is never far away.
Any of our household’s visitors who witnesses a BONE-able offense first hand, immediately loved the idea…and quickly wanted a BONE of their own. Since we definitely couldn’t spare ours (and couch pillows simply did could not do the trick adequately), we starting making them our friends and extended family members. As the word (and ensuing demand) spread, we formed FB Novelties to create world peace—one living room at a time.
