I get this all the time. On the dashboard of my dad's car it says SRS. I see acronyms like FTM, STP, (A guy at my school has a shirt that says STP, and I crack up whenever I see it) etc.
And also, when someone says "binder", I never think about school supplies. When I hear something about packing, the image in my head is not of suitcases.

Anyone else got weird acronyms to share, or am I the only crazy one who makes these kind of associations? -_-'

At work, we keep a hand written log about what we sell throughout the day, every time I write CD I giggle a little on the inside.

And the other way around, whever I see STP on the forums I hear "stone temple pilots" in my head.

My bike says SRS, father's truck is an SR5, and every time I see STP I take a second to think about it. Stone Temple Pilots, Standard Temperature and Pressure or Stand-To-Pee?
Packing and binders- not about organization to me.

Yeah, I do the same thing.

... two words...

srs bsns

A big sign outside a auto repair shop in an industrial area near where I live proudly proclaims:

cute one lys,


When I see STP, i have to remmber that they are talking about an oil treatment thing. I dread the day I say something to or about an acronym and get looked at funny if not more.

This is really bad
but it took me awhile to figure out that 'FFS' does not always relate to the text-slang that involves the f-bomb
Oops.

Then again, same person who can't get past "srs" being used in non trans situations

There's a poster in one of my classrooms that proclaims "TRANS" and I always doubletake and realize that the "FORMATIONS" is turned sideways because of the edge of the poster.

Haha, I do that too! FFS is the biggest one, since one of my coworkers uses that acronym all the time!

lol that's awesome Alyssa, I think I'm gonna go hunting for a ->-bleeped-<- shop tomorrow, camera in hand.

There is nail shop I drive past called "Cindys Transformations"

I always laugh, one because of the missing apostrophe, and two I'm sure you can guess.

Cindy

My partner of the last 21 years (also a transwoman - yeah don't ask, niether of us planned to do that - I met her when we were both already longterm postop and both both had boyfriends) who has shapely legs which seem to go all the way from floor to armpits and who postop used to work as a model wanted to get a T-shirt printed which would have read.

Tits by Porter
Pussy by Dalrymple
Legs by ALISON! 

(Porter & Dalrymple were her two surgeons) I wanted one which simply said on the back (so men saw it after I had passed them and were oggling me)

PS I'm a TS 

Needless to say neither of us had the courage to do it but we often have a giggle at the thought. What do you think girls & boys? Is there a market for a special range of slogan printed TS-Shirts?

It does pay to advertise after all!

My friend's facebook status right now is:

Quote[Name] will have a B.A. very, very soon...

I don't know why she thinks she needs it -- she's already a 34D. Oh, never mind, she's finally done with college.

Okay. I just realized this.
The shampoo I use to control my dandruff is Neutrogena T/Gel It's really quite nice at controlling the fact that my head snows once in awhile(clickie, pic of product. it's really not what it sounds like)
I nearly fell over laughing when I realized this.

What's sad is i've been using this shampoo for awhile, and never noticed the brand name.

Yesterday my teacher had us work on a "career information system" but it was abbreviated to "cis". 

Where I work there is an area that new merchandise is stored in before it has a place on the sales floor called  transition. So over the walkie I am always hearing "I cann't do this and that--I am in transition". If only they knew!

I remember that thing! When I was a kid puters were just coming into widespread use in schools and the counselor made us each make an appointment to use the one computer on campus and find our true destiny.

It told me to be a lumberjack. I can't say if it was right or wrong, I have never actually become a lumberjack but it doesn't seem like something I would excel at.

A lumberjack? You mean like this?

I love Monty Python.  Thank you for sharing, Aaron. 

"Nip Tuck" takes on a whole new meaning
