ABSTRACT:
A simulated Judge's traditional courtroom gavel appartatus, comprising a sounding-block modified with a preferred plurality of nine cubes, bearing some fifty-four different graphic indicia (one upon each facet), a possibly stressful-situation sensitive word reading for example: “landlord”, “boss”, “step-mom”, “taxes”, “job”, “school”, “lawyer”, “car.” The user thus chooses the desired subject/topic from an assortment of cube selections held within the gavel-housing, then places that selected cube choice face-up into a holding-well formed down into the housing. The user may pause to reflect upon the stressful nature of the subject at hand (ie—“alimony”), —then picking-up the gavel, raises it well above the stressful-word held clearly exposed within the well, and while focusing directly thereto, slams the gavel resoundingly thereupon! This action may obstensibly soothe one's psyche of excess anger or frustration toward that person or object. A more compact generic-variant sets forth the alternative use of interchangeable tile-cards, similarly bearing the different topic words; either iteration offering user the option of subject write-in spaces as well.
