SKIP: Have you ever been stuck on a plane with a crying baby?

SKIP: Nothing worse, right? Cramped space, uncomfortable seats, and some little rugrat just screaming bloody murder like it’s a washcloth being wrung out. Well, my invention is a special hood that fits securely around the baby’s upper region to effectively muffle any disruptive noises that might disturb fellow passengers.
