No Bite It

Ok, so I found out tonight one of my housemates has a product called "Bite it." (Well, the symbol is the words 'bite it' with a big red circle with a slash through it, so maybe it's called "no bite it"). Anyway, this product is basically nail polish that tastes horrible so you will learn to stop biting your nails. REALLY? What the hell? Does this not sound awfully familiar to the way we condition pets to stop doing bad stuff? Allow me to demonstrate:

To stop _________ from ________, we put on __________. This way, she is bothered when she ___________ and will stop in the future.

Fill in the blanks
1. Housemate, biting her nails, BiteIt nail polish, bites her nails
2. A dog, running out of the yard, a shock collar, runs out of the yard

I've got a better solution. Something more human, and quite amusing to everyone else. Make a deal with your friends, that if any of them catch you biting your nails, they have permission to slap you across the face. If they catch you multiple times, the slap can be harder than the previous one. I believe this to be a foolproof system.
Benefits:
-You will definitely stop biting your nails
-Your friends will get to either slap you in the face or watch others slap you in the face and laugh.
Downsides:
-?????

It's as simple as that. Slapping makes sense.
