MNEMONIC DEVICE: RESISTOR COLOR CODE
"BAD BOYS RAPE OUR YOUNG GIRLS, BUT VIRGINIA GIVES WILLINGLY"
Submitter comment:
THE ABOVE MNEMONIC DEVICE IS USED TO AID REMEMBERING THE COLOR
CODING SYSTEM FOR AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT KNOWN AS A RESISTOR.
THE DEVICE IS TOO SMALL TO BE STAMPED WITH ITS ELECTRICAL VALUE
IN NUMERICAL FORM, SO COLORED BANDS ARE PAINTED AROUND IT. EACH
COLOR REPRESENTS A DIFFERENT DIGIT. THE FIRST LETTER OF EACH WORD
IN THE MNEMONIC IS THE FIRST LETTER OF A COLOR. THUS "BAD" STANDS
FOR BLACK, WHICH STANDS FOR "OF" "BOYS" STANDS FOR BROWN, WHICH
STANDS FOR "1;" "RAPE" STANDS FOR RED, WHICH STANDS FOR "2," ETC.
THE OTHER COLORS ARE ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, VIOLET, GRAY, AND
WHITE.

BATH. THE LADY KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT
MARY'S BABY, AND ASKED TO USE THE SAME WATER. WHEN SHE
TOOK HER LITTLE BOY OUT OF THE WATER, HE WASN'T
