When I was in aviation maintenance school a classmate recited a sentence
which could help one remember those colors in their correct sequence.
The
instructor, who was also the prez of the school, immediately scolded the
student and warned him not to repeat the sentence again. I can't
remember
the whole thing but "rape our young girls" would account for red, orange,
yellow, green." What method did YOU use?


But violet giving willingly is OK?

I gave my lab partner in college one of those radio shack wheely things
because he could never remember the color code.

The girls can flirt and other queer things can do.

LOL! I was a lowly teaching assistant and had a lab section (Electrical
Engineering). On one occasion, the lab handout provided the color codes
with numeric values. The handout then said something like "your instructor
will provide an easy way to recall the sequence/values".

Well, of course, at least half the students already knew the bawdy version
and kept asking me to recite it especially since there was a significant
co-ed contingent.

And, Ron, you probably recall that there is a different version for VGW that
"explained" the "ROYG". :-)
