Q-Tips or Baby Gays?
Q-Tip Cotton Swabs were originally called Baby Gays. back in the 1920's, the Polish-born American watched his wife winding bits of a cotton ball around the end of a toothpick to clean their baby's ears. And he thought "that's smaller than my elbow. I must find something better.” Okay, so it's not a direct quote, but his mind was working along those lines. A solution for his baby, would be a solution for all children. So Gerstenzang formed the Leo Gerstenzang Infant Novelty Company and began figuring out how to make a sanitary product that the cotton would stay on, and not be left behind in baby's personal spaces. In the end, he came up with a machine that wound cotton evenly around the ends of a slim birch stick (later replaced by white cardboard). The machine also sterilized his product, and then packaged them in the standard sliding box, so that they could be advertised as untouched by human hands. And he named his product "Baby Gays.” For some reason, that name never caught on, and in 1926, it was changed to Q-Tips, with the "Q" standing for "quality."

Bribes in India are quite common, and often poorly-paid police officers ask for bribes or drivers will bribe the police officers. The driver of the truck complained to the senior police officers. The reason the second officer was suspended was because he did not do anything to stop the other officer from biting the truck driver's arm.
