In discussing how our analog brains work, the subject of telephone number jingles in advertisments came up. She pointed out how such a simple device could jog our memories. It must have worked because I have never forgotten this one. Picture it: a small boy next to a huge pile of cookies with chocolate around his mouth, and the jingle "How many cookies did Andrew eat? ANdrew 8-8000" Any other neat ones? Bote Old & Improved path!: uunet!comsea!csense!bote New & Improved path!: {zardoz|uunet!tgate|cos!}ka3ovk!media!cyclops!csense!bote
