From top to bottom my network instructor used something like:

Looking on line, there’s tons of them.

26

There’s the classification of stars:

“Oh, Be A Fine Girl. Kiss Me.” Just use the initial letters.

27

Question: “What color did the Confederates wear in the Civil War?”
Well, let’s see. Confederates were slavers. Slavery is bad. Bad things are of the dark side. The imperials are on the dark side. They wear…

For the Great Lakes from West to East:

30

Excellent! And one I’ve remembered since schooldays:

Now I - even I! - would celebrate
In rhymes unapt the great
Immortal Syracusan rivaled nevermore
Who in his wondrous lore
Passed on before
Gave men his guidance how to circles mensurate.

(Americans get their own back because of the spelling of “rivaled”)

Shorter is “How I need a drink (alcoholic of course) after the heavy chapters involving quantum mechanics” and shorter still “May I have a large container of coffee?”

Ours was healthier: Every Good Boy Deserves Fruit.

The silliest one that I remember from school is the colours of the rainbow: Richard of York grew bananas in vain.

This girl back way back when I was learning injections and what not told me Sally Field fucks sheep.

It’s how she remembered how to draw insulin.

39

What’s it stand for?

40

Slow, fast, fast, slow. It’s how you mix regular insulin (“fast”) and long-acting insulin (“slow”) from two different vials in the same syringe. She told me that because I had a hell of a time remembering which insulin was clear and which was cloudy and which vial gets the air first and which one gets drawn first… “CCCC” (cloudy, clear, clear, cloudy) isn’t exactly helpful. :slight_smile: I don’t think it was ever a test question anyway.
