In the not to distant future, in a strange society somewhere on earth, velcro-uniforms will be mandated. In the morning a person will put on their velcro uniform, walk outside and jump on the velcro-road. This road system is an interlocking series of moving velcro tracks arranged in a grid pattern, one
elevated above or below the other. While navigating the velcro-road a velcro-person presses a directional or exit button on a controller. Upon pressing it a large mechanized puller made of stronger velcro picks them off the road and places them on their desired path via a semi-statically charged metal separator which ‘develcroinizes’ them from the puller. Other transportation works much the same way, think velcro-inroads rather than elevators, escalators. It's a velcro paradise.

What have you got against other
manufacturers of hook and loop fasteners?
Why should this monoeconomical future of
yours favour Velcro Industries B.V
specifically, to the detriment of all other
competition? |

Some folks honestly don't know Velcro's the name of a brand, not the product. I've mentioned hook and loop before and got a lot of wierd looks. Probably because all the other companies are cheap knock-offs who don't deserve recognition. |

bigsleep, - ah, well, take a look at 2001 A
Space Odyssey, on board the Pan-Am
Orion shuttle. Hook and loop fastener
strips on the soles of the crew's shoes. |

I'm waiting for American football with all velcro on the outside uniforms. Try untangling one of those pileups when the players are stuck together. |
