The Michelangelo Button

 especially for the drive-thru at the bank

When I pull up to the remote drive-thru at the bank, if I don’t get close enough to dent my side view mirror, then I cannot reach the little button to send the tube to the bank lady. I have designed The Michelangelo Button to help out those of us with short arms, or those of us who can’t get the car close enough for one reason or another. It is a rubber hand of The Creation of Adam that protrudes out from the terminal. Just touching the fingertip activates the button and sends the tube flying up.

There might be other uses for this Button-Extender as I would call it, but I have made a picture here on a bank thingy. [see link]

       I love the name and the notion, so a (+).

       ...and it was good.   

       ...maybe this is too scary for a bank and should be on the elevator buttons at a hospital...

       Can you also have a FSM noodly appendage version?

       [marklar] Thanks! I had to look that one up and it's cool, so you could have any version you want.
Thank you, too [21] as I'm just learning a tiny bit of photoshop and can now do stupid ideas with it.

       Wouldn't the button extender hit your side mirror? Or does the hand retract when not in use?

       [xenzag] re the Michelangelo image in your second link - I'd always imagined god would be bigger than that, somehow.

       He looks bigger on TV.

       [Text] It's made of rubber, so it's OK to hit the side mirror. It's possible to make a retracting one, though. Love the link [imaginality]!
