Once upon a time it was SOP to tell newcomers to take the cotton out of their ears and put it in their mouth for at least the first 6 months of sobriety. This filtered out most of the "irrelevant crap".
Rumor has it that most meetings had to drop this practice when the Courts and treatment centers started sending newcomers to AA. Seems it was chasing most of them away (before they put their dollar in the basket).
