First date, the guy says, "I'm in commodity sales, travel a lot,
soon to
be divorced..." You reach into your pocket (or purse), pull out
this
little Bic-lighter-size device, push a button, up pops a small but
unmistakable RED FLAG. End of date, no words necessary.
Or at a political rally,
"My program will eliminate taxes, create
hundreds
of jobs, lead America to a New Era...blah, blah, blah." 500 little
red
flags pop up in the audience (like cell-phones at a concert).
One button says it all.

Perhaps acceptable over a dinner table on your date; Not so good at political rallies. (Note: Original link image with a real "red flag" was replaced due to some bakers being unable to view it.) [jurist, Apr 23 2010, last modified Apr 24 2010]

This is probably a more sophisticated and politically correct alternative to the spring-loaded toy handgun with a message flag that we used to use. |
|
| |
// spring-loaded toy handgun // |
|
| |
Inevitably inferior to the nitro-powder loaded real handgun. |
|
| |
Would be nice if it was hat-mounted instead of handheld. |
|
| |
Definitely nothing resembling a handgun, toy or otherwise.
This sets off real red flags from way too many of the wrong
people. |
|
| |
Would it often shroud your martyred dead, by any chance? |

I tried to use this at a running of the bulls, but the charging
steer in front of me just didn't get the message. |

But, that bull was not trying to deceive you. It is a BS
*indicator*, not a repellant. I wonder why you
needed an indicator at all? I suppose the bull may
have *seemed* like a nice guy...but, still, the horns,
and all? |
