A Soulful Journey

Two couples who have played cards every month for years take a break from their game. After their wives go into the kitchen Joe says to Frank, “I usually have to remind you what cards have been played for tonight I didn't have to.  How come?” ”I went to memory school,” said Frank. ”Really?” Asked Joe. “What’s the name of the school?” ”Let me see… what do you call that flower that is red with thorns on the stem? ”A rose,” said Joe. ”Yeah, that’s it, a rose. Hey Rose!” Yelled Frank toward the kitchen. “What was the name of that memory school I went to?”

A professional orator liked mnemonics.  He began his speech by turning to one-man in the audience and said, "And so sir, where did you go to school?" "Yale." "YALE, Yearning, Aptitude, Learning and Excellence." "And where do you go to school?" he asked the next. Massachusetts Institute of technology." Sometimes it pays to be a little humble.
