On the other hand, it might be fun to come up with funny "use patents" and
get them in the USPO database. Let's see, how about "method of using a
bowling ball to crack walnuts?" "Method of using a vacuum cleaner to
catch mice?" I could go on.
Dunno about the walnuts idea. But I wouldn't go catching mice using my
vacuum cleaner if I were you, thanks to patent 6,865,843:

Tragically, this invention was patented in 2005. Also, it's a way more
clever idea than yours, since it involves bait and it is portable.
