Clear spray for your monitor. Reacts with finger oils over time to release an unpleasant smell. Comes with a sticker warning of this, to be placed on your monitor.
This product are for those who really hate a fingerprinted monitor. Sure, it'll also react with the fingerprint on your monitor,
but the targeted consumer is anal enough to have cleaned the monitor by then anyway.

Anyone seen or read Umberto Eco's "Name of the Rose"?
Anyway, who are you calling "anal"? |
|
| |
[21] Just don't display the sticker or tell them about it. They'll still touch your screen, but will always wonder why their fingers smell. It's a small victory, but better than nothing. |
|
| |
But my finger already smells funny |
|
| |
"touch my monitor and I'll make your finger smell funny" boy, this lad's really hard! |
|
| |
The punishment should fit the crime, [po]. |

Next up: annoying disco music playing anti-theft pen alarm system. |
|
| |
Not much use in a police crime storage area then.... |
|
| |
what about "Touch my monitor and I'll make your finger
fall slightly off" ? - sound effect of descending hatchet
slicing through the air..... It's a very silly idea and fully
deserving of a reward + |
|
| |
Or go all the way using that flesh-eating virus. Perhaps a bit drastic. |
|
| |
[Absinthe] Maybe I'm not with it, but I don't see what "Name of the Rose" has to do with this idea. Have a moment to explain for us thickies?? |
|
| |
[crash] would stink and my monitor would still be filthy. |
|
| |
Dont tell them what irritates you? Hmmm... so like if I said something like... pretty women on the job waiting on me hand and foot is something that is irritating to me then I guess they will do it just to spite me.. hmmm.. good idea. |

Use a CRT and turn up the voltage to the tube. They'll leran soon enough. |

[PollyNo9] Part of the plot of Name of the Rose concerned a book which killed. The book (a comedy) was in the library of a monastery of a strict order of mediaeval monks. It killed those who read it because they licked their fingers to turn the page, and the corners of the pages had been poisoned by a very strict monk who thought that laughter was a sin.
Though why he didn't just burn the book, I don't remember.
A kind of Dark Ages whodunnit.
The analogy was that I would gladly wish agonising intestinal pains on anyone who touches my pristine flastscreen. |
|
| |
Yeah, but who wants a sticker on their monitor? |
|
| |
Maybe the monk wasn't bothered as much by laughter as by people who lick their fingers when turning pages. |
|
| |
[Absinthe] Ahhh that's right, I remember now. It's beena few years since I read it. I can't remember why he didn't burn it either, but I can't imagine that that fact was covered. Hm. Anyways, nice connection.
I should re-read that one. |

Not a good idea if you have a touch-screen. |
