Embarrassed by my inability to recall this sterling gem from college, I decided to thumb through my class notebooks and nearly killed myself inhaling all the accumulated dust. After some digging, I found the precious notebook in my library.
Here is the page scanned in for your viewing pleasure.
As you can see, I must of misheard Professor Brophy that day - this class being required of all the freshmen (fresh-persons?) so it was probably held in the wee morning hours of September 21, 1978, most likely the ungodly hour of 9:00 AM.
When I was reviewing my notes, cramming for the final exam, I circled "Lefty Lucy" and made a note to find out "who is Lucy?" Time was short and I guess I never did find out. So for all the years since then, I've wondered just who this Lefty Lucy was... was she sexy? was she famous? did she act in movies? did she look like this:
...but once I read ChicagoLady's comment on lefty-loosie, the lightbulb finally went on in the mush that I call my mind. Doh!!
I notice too, that I had forgotten the "Martha visits every Monday and just stays until noon" wisdom. This tells me that my notebook page is a fake. Do you know why? :)

Back in 1978, Pluto was still a planet, so the sentence should have ended with a "P" word, correct?
I think I might have done well in that Intro to Engineering. My mind is analytical, like my dad's.
Ive only heard of 'whitie tighties' LOL

*laffz* I do believe Chicago's correct.
ChicagoLady is indeed correct. The phrase "Martha visits every Monday and just stays until noon" is a nmemonic that can help one remember the order of the planets in the solar system.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Asteroids, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
I know the asteroids are not a planet - but they are thought to be the 'remains' of one that broke up due to the gravitational forces Jupiter.
Move over Scotty - ChicagoLady is our new Chief Engineer...
Marmite - someday, someone, somewhere will blob about 'whitie-tighties'... in fact I'm sure someone has already, but even as twisted as I am, it's not going to be me. LMAO.
You lost me on this one.
Marty used to have 8 AM classes after having worked at Sheetz until midnight the night before. Needless to say, that didn't help his GPA very much.
*shrugs* I dunno squat!
I've heard of something called diddly squat. :p
I lived in a squat when I was about 17 if that helps...lol
