Vishnu Sneezing Arms

Citizens of many countries around the world have no doubt been reminded by their respective government agencies to sneeze into their sleeves and not their hands. But this can leave an unsightly blob of phlegm on the sleeve, the outline of which remains even after removal with a handkerchief.

The solution: detachable, hollowed plastic arms are mounted on one's dorsolateral region via a strap that wraps around the shoulders underneath the outer coat, and protrudes out of the neckhole, around both sides of the collar, and finally down the back. The arms are attached using permanent magnets and contain a disposable dressing (sleeve) that comes in a variety of colours to match whatever outfit. When one feels the urge to sneeze, he or she simply yanks an arm down and out and proceeds to expectorate. Any residue left on the arm can be wiped off with a handkerchief, as the dressing is made out of synthetic, non-absorbent fiber. The dressing is machine washable, but cheap enough so that it can be disposed of if it becomes tattered.
