	fiogf49gjkf0d We have all been taught, through the years, little phrases etc. to help us remember certain things. To wit, Spring forward, Fall back helps us remember which way to set my clock. Thirty days has September, April, June and November. All the rest have 31 except February with 29. Helps us to remember the number of days in each month. Gorillas eat potato chips. Reminds us of the order of the next four Bible books after 2nd Corinthians because these are shorter books and their order can get confusing. Galatians Ephesians Philippians Colossians Every Good Boy Deserves Favor = the notes on the scale. So, what have you been taught to help you remember? Marcus Tee

	fiogf49gjkf0d Here are some more examples: Mechanics Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey (Lucy) Bartending Kamikaze: Very Tragic Landings or Vanna Turns Letters (Vodka, Triple sec, Lime) Typing These sentences contain every letter in the alphabet: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Waltz, bad nymph, for quick jigs vex. Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz. Geography The Oceans from largest to smallest: Pigs Are Intelligent Animals (Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic.) Spelling Which letter to put first while spelling (has some exceptions): "I" before "e" except after "c" (Isn't that "weird"?) Marcus Tee

	fiogf49gjkf0d Hmmmm...maybe I'm aging myself, but in the days before computers or word processors there was a shop class called "print shop" where we used movable type, just like the type used by newspapers. The case where the letters were kept were in a standard format. Each row had its specific saying. It was over 35 years ago, but I believe the first row went something like this: "Never Park Small Ford Cars In Large Garages" (NPSFCILG). I know it may not be correct, but maybe someone can correct me and also give the words for the next two rows. Tedsdad

	fiogf49gjkf0d That's true, but when you're listening to a talk and are asked to look up Philippians it's a lot quicker when you know the order. Marcus Tee Sick Puppy wrote: Their order doesn't really matter that much.... It's what's in them that counts.

	fiogf49gjkf0d I too took electronics in high school.... Can't seem to remember if there was any cute rhyme to help us remember the colour codes though. I'm sure the part in question would not have made it past the school censors as they were in the late 70s. Teacher did hand out pocket resistance calculators though. Just turn the wheels so the colours line up and read the value in the window. Simple but effective..... I'm sure I still have it around here someplace.

	fiogf49gjkf0d You are so right. I totally forget about those 'cause I always remember their order. Man am I stooooopid. (So I fixed it. Thanks Bob.) Marcus Tee Sick Puppy wrote: You didn't know that because it isn't true.

	fiogf49gjkf0d You didn't know that because it isn't true. After the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John), it's Acts, Romans, 1st Corinthians and 2nd Corinthians. Then it's Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians.... But the rhyme I learned for that was "General Electric Power Company". BTW, FM123.... Who is this Violet you hold in such high regard?
