What's this "telephone wire" of which you speak?

Sorry, it was how the old dinosaurs communicated "back in the day". Not to worry, everything is radio now. (except of course how all of those cell towers are fed). Most of those are now fed with the wonderful world of light. Some low volume ones are probably still fed with copper T1's.

All is well, proceed ahead.

Never could remember that one. I always used Roy G Biv (red orange yellow green blue indigo violet)(I think my high school radio club faculty advisor told us that one). I know it misses some of the colors, but gets most of 'em.

Roy G Biv is for the colours of the rainbow...red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

Red is never right

I use it for remembering red is never on the right (starboard) side of boats or airplanes

I forgot to include the second line:

If in trouble or in doubt,
run in circles, scream and shout!
