Four Rules Mnemonic

There was a clever mnemonic someone came up with a few months ago for the 4 Rules of Gun Safety.  Or maybe it was an acronym...  It was clever and simple and one I was gonna use it on new shooters.  It was so good there was no way to forget it.

I forgot it.

Anyone got any clever 4-Rule mnemonic?  Sumthin clever?

UPDATE:

Lucky Strikes Means Fine Tobacco

L.S./M.F.T.

Loaded (stupid!). Muzzle. Finger. Target.

    L.M.F.T.

    That is the acronym I remember.
    Loaded, Muzzle, Finger, Target.

    The mnemonic could be 'interesting' if one has a vulgar mind. -- I've worked out 3 variations already, none fit for print.

    Lucky (Strike) Means Fine Tobacco.

    The mnemonic included the S, since the Lucky Strike box says "L.S./M.F.T."

    "LOADED, STUPID! Muzzle. Finger. Target."

    Ignoring the request for a mnemonic, I note in passing that my use of "Keep your booger-hook off the bang-switch until ready for a loud noise" for Rule 3 kept my kids laughing out loud for the entire drive to the range.

I reserve the right to delete patently offensive comments. Or, really, any comment I feel like. Or I might leave a really juicy comment up for private ridicule. Also spammers.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
