I loved this... it made my day better >^.. ^<
Just in case you are having a rough day, here is a stress management technique used traditionally in Sicily.
The funny thing is that it really does work and will make you smile.
1. Picture yourself lying on your belly on a warm rock that hangs out over a crystal clear stream.
2.. Picture yourself with both your hands dangling in the cool running water.
3. Birds are sweetly singing in the cool mountain air.
4. No one knows your secret place.
5. You are in total seclusion from that hectic place called the world.
6. The soothing sound of a gentle water fall fills the air with a cascade of serenity.
7. The water is so crystal clear that you can easily make out the face of the person you are holding underwater.
There! See? It really does work. :D You're smiling already. Feel free to
share this if you know others who might benefit from this technique.

Only one a day. Geesh. I can't do just one a day. It would take me wayyyy toooo long. Too many people to drown, not enough time. Or is it too much time, not enough people to drown?

Say, this really works guys! I've already dunked my crappy neighbor so many times his skin is getting worse than wrinkled from being in the water, he's actually turning blue and his eyes are bulging out! I'll have to pick on someone else when he moves soon. Oh well, it's fun while it lasts!

Yeah... wear gloves too Twink, that water is hard on your hands... cracks and dries them. :D
This is getting to be hard work you know? I haven't gotten even a third of the way into my waiting line.

Try a knee in the midsection as you put them under, boss. It doesn't take as long.

Hey, thanks for the tip. Only problem is he keeps thrashing around too much for the knee trick to work that well. Have to try a few cinderblocks and see if that speeds up the process...
