Correct answer: Cat's eyes

Mumski, it’s said that if the cat had been facing the other way he would have invented the pencil sharpener

Great question, and it's a bonus that I live in the town where Percy Shaw lived and invited the cats eyes
Mumski
Clever man. They self clean too.
tia
Apparently, if someone accidentally drives over one (ie:when overtaking), the cat's eye pops down, cleans itself and pops back up again
Stoo
Just think if the cat would've been facing the other way he might've invented the pencil sharpener.

I taught his grandson who told me about his achievements. I learned something that day; fortunately I think his grandson learned a few things from me too!
