This idea involves stuffing a glove and forming it into a gesture that represents a word or meaning e.g. the hand gesture that represents OK or everything is fine is a ‘thumbs up’ gesture. Different types of gloves could be used e.g. white and lacy, a knuckleduster. Some suggestions for the gestures
could be the ‘one fingered salute’ meaning ‘go away’, two hands in a shaking posture meaning ‘let’s be friends’ or two hands with both thumbs and forefinger forming a heart shape meaning ‘be my valentine’. This service could be run via the post, where people would request a ‘hand gesture’ to be sent to the person they wish to convey the message to. It could be marketed along the lines that a ‘hand gesture’ would have more impact that just a card.

18 ideas in a week is enough already [numbo]. |

If the ratio of bad to good was a bit better than 17:1, I wouldn't mind. |
|
| |
I'm unclear as to why the number of previous ideas from the same person, even if they were overwhelmingly boned, renders this one unworthy of consideration. |
|
| |
I'm bunning it, because there is someone I would pay to send a middle finger hand to right now. |
|
| |
I'm not boning it because of the number, I'm boning it because because it's a porrly thought-out idea, as indicated by the fact that he has posted so many ideas he has had no time to devote to thinking about any of them. I don't think it's a good idea, and I think it's because he's posting too rapidly. |

I don't think it's any more poorly thought out than multiple others on the HB. I like it because it paints a picture in my mind, that the more technical ideas don't... link to my similar idea. |

I'm not sure why my idea is poorly thought out. It explains the essence of the idea and only the essence. Do you want a business plan from me? |
|
| |
I admit quality rather than quantity is a good thing, but I'm on a learning curve and with hindsight some of my ideas are, shall we say, not going to rock the boat to say the least. |

What makes you think I am a he, 21 Quest? |
|
| |
What makes you think, 21 Quest, that I am posting too rapidly with not much thought given to them. I might have written my ideas over time, collected them up and submitted them to this group all at once. |
|
| |
You've assumed too many things, I think 21 Quest. |
|
| |
It's possible that I've over-assumed. Sorry 'bout the "he" crack, I meant to say "he/she" like I usually do, that was an honest mistake. |
|

21 Quest. Apology accepted. |

BTW, this idea was based on a service I saw once where a website was selling greetings cards with angry messages. If you didn't like someone, then you could send them a card with a non too savoury message on it. This idea is just an extension to that concept and possibly might have more of an impact to the recipient - possibly. |
