folding chair
Mnemonic

If you don't respect me I'll take this folding chair and whack you with it on the head. Then I'll bury you under the blades of grass and leave you there. By then it will be too late to utter the "I'm sorry" phrase. Once you're buried underground you can say it as many times as you want, and no one will hear you. So show some respect!
