stan,
I don't ask.
I just say, "Make the rubberband go away."
We ain't votin'.
Just as an aside, somewhat of a legal tip (both rules-wise and liability wise in some cases):

The R has no authority to order a player to remove any dangerous article, just the authority to prohibit a player from playing with those dangerous articles.

Listen carefully the next time you're at an airport security checkpoint. They (should) say, "May I look in your bag?" instead of "Let me search your bag."
