Unused button ideas?

My 2006 2.2 has no foglights, but I have this nifty button-like thing where the foglight button would normally be.
A buddy and I are planning to add some functionality to it. I would love to hear your ideas for what we should have it do. Feel free to think outside the box, but within reason (no machine guns).

As an aside, I used to have a VW Bus with a dash button whose sole job was to light up when clicked. Technically it was a brake system malfunction light, but you could press it to make sure the light was working. Almost every person who rode with me asked what it was, while reaching for it. There was just enough time between them asking and them pressing to say "passenger side eject".

It'd take a little more than just wiring up the button, but it would be high-larious.

Then again... you could mount some lights and wire them to the button...

How about to release an oil slick behind you?

Don't hook it up to anything. Just paint it red and label it "PANIC!"
