Automatic Picker-Stopper

 A solution for all of those people who pick their nose as a habit

Basically, this will help people who pick their nose habitually, without even realizing it. Plant a small electrode in the person's pointer finger, and one just inside each nostril. When the person begins picking their nose, they receive a small electric jolt, or a buzzer goes off, delivered by means of a small box they wear at their waist. By matter of simple conditioning, the person will learn to stop picking their nose. Problem solved!!!

       If people can't pick their noses, they won't be able to drive IMHO.
