Oh, oh, oh, to touch a girl’s vagina.

I read (Robert Heinlein) Mother Very Easily Made **A** Jelly Sandwich Under No Protest, to include the asteroid belt.

I learned “Kitty Put Catnip On Fido’s Ground Steak” for the taxonomic hierarchy.

How’sabout “Oh Be A Fine Girl, Kiss Me Right Now - Smack!”

I’ve always found the planetary mnemonics entertaining, mainly because I’ve never needed one – for me the planet names are their own mnemonic.
