snow blower---- chit that's a no brainer
snowmoble--- another no brainer, when you live 2/3rds of your life in snow
foghorn--- that goes with the next one - sounded like a fart
gasmask--- someone had to come up with something to overcome the flatulence laden air the indoor air would be saturated with due to all of the seal meat that was eaten and due to the fact that it was too cold to stay or do anything outside
table hockey--- there's ice hockey, air hockey, table hockey... some idiot Canadian even tried to invent water hockey... but the water was frozen
goalie mask--- of course a Frenchi invents this because all they want to do is eat and it was hard to do without any teeth
