Playing dress up, looking for suggestions

[pdedse]

1,000,000 years from know, an archeologist is going to dig up a small piece of aluminum with a rubber ball on one end and wonder what the heck it is. They ain't coming off.

And she will exclaim, "huh!, I wonder what purpose this Rubber Thing on the End of the Lever had? From then on, the great RTEL debate will begin...were RTELs used to grip better?, were RTELs used to protect something?, why did a few previously discovered levers have no RTEL? Never will they realize how close they were to the true acronym.

Some rookie archeologist will be scoffed at when she suggests that maybe they were for show only.
