You don't automatically try to put words to acronyms?

STRESS MANAGEMENT
 
Picture yourself near a stream.
Birds are singing in the crisp, cool mountain air.
Nothing can bother you here.
No one knows this secret place.
You are in total seclusion from
that place called the world.
The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall
fills the air with a cascade of serenity.
The water is crystal clear.
You can easily make out the face of the person
whose head you're holding under the water.

To be sure, it's pretty far down on the importance-to-daily-life
scale. But just FYI, it's a reference to some of Beaver Fever's former
personas on this newsgroup from way back: Full Metal Grotus and Soul
Surgeon. (There were probably others that I've forgotten.)

Every once in a while I will remember some weird detail from WAYY back
when and am amazed that that particular useless memory has been stored
away untouched for 50 or 60 years.

All the toilets were stolen out of the police station.
The police have nothing to go on.

I am often chagrinned to find that I (apparently) have so many
braincells dedicated to remembering useless things like theme songs
from 60's sitcoms and cartoons. I mean "My Mother The Car" ?!? Shit!
