The Finger-nose Stylus – for those who can’t put their phones down

Do you find yourself wanting to browse your iPhone or Android device while you’re in the bath? Or perhaps you’re on the toilet and you don’t want your disgusting digits swiping your touchscreen. The Finger-nose Stylus is just what you need. Or is it?

At the expense of looking like a malformed rat or a twisted version of Pinocchio, you can use your touchscreen device without having to use your fingers. Instead, the Finger-nose Stylus does all the work for you. It’s a long, strange-looking extension for your nose that allows you to navigate your devices be twitching and bobbing your head around as you guide your snout across your phone’s glowing screen.

Now, no one is telling you not to use this in public — no, wait, I am. Please, for the love of all things decent, keep this thing in your home if you absolutely must use it. In fact, here are a handful of things you can do away from your phone in situations where you find one-handed use to be your only option:

1. Daydream
2. Count as high as you can using only prime numbers (i.e. 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, etc.)
3. Meditate
4. Sing to yourself
5. Recite the alphabet backwards
6. Practice that monologue you’ve been working on, you know, the one that will launch your career as a theater actor
7. Have a loud conversation with your spouse or roommate while you’re in the bathroom and he/she is in the kitchen
8. Do nothing
9. Make mental lists
10. Try using those telekinetic powers that you’re convinced you have

But if you simply must use your phone – and I say this with a deep, exasperating sigh – you can pick one of these styluses up nowhere! That’s right, it’s not for sale and you’ll just have to make one of your own. So there.
