The X-ray machine, so that we can see how perfectly our shoes will fit before we buy them.
Also handy for bone fractures, mylograms, swallowed or inserted items, and so forth.

Ricky, shoe stores used to have flouroscope style xray machines that you could put your feet in and see how the shoe fit.... this was before people realized that exposre to excess xray radiation was harmfull.
I nominate toilet paper, if it hasn't already been nominated. |

Im giving my props to Otto Titsling for keeping breasts firm and sag free for years past their expiraion date, a close second is the tube top followed by the thong bikini.
As for non-breast related inventions thats alot harder...

Ah yes, duct tape! The handy man's secret weapon! 
The cuspidor, for reasons ranging from the practical to the sanitary. It keeps brown blotches from collecting on the inside of window sills and surrounding walls.

I've been told that is one of the 101 most common applications of duct tape.
I suppose it would work for trimming the bikini line too.
I wouldn't want to try it though, I tried my girlfriend's silk-a-peel on my chest once, just for fun and realized that it's one of those things you don't do for fun.  |

Thong bikini? My, you haven't seen the brazillian beaches yet, now have you? Though I believe we could call that hellious piece of cloth (or lack of thereof) 'thong'... Yeah, I guess that's possible.

I haven't seen your beaches, but my brother worked on an oil rig offshore of Rio for about 12 years. He always called those pieces of cloth "anal floss".
Dr. M I have been peaking at your signature. The best thing I ever saw anyone do with duct tape was on a return trip from Florida. I was behind someone from Ontairo on the interstate who had duct taped a HUGE container to hold extra luggage to the top of their car! Needless to say I only followed them long enough to get a picture.
Hey, camera is another great invention. I find it especially useful when I am taking things apart. Step-by-step photos make reassembly a breeze.

Haha, he's right! Damned thing, it gets so annoying after awhile. I was born and raised in Rio up to 15s, then I moved to São Paulo. He's quite right on that one, trust me

Where would modern civilization be without WD-40? That stuff works so well that, I declare, if it didn't taste so foul, I'd drink it and live forever!
