"A fat-armed German vends ale hops" is what I recall.
I did some of my own for microbiology, and used them for the annual class show, much to the amusement of the micro prof. Example:
Spiral trees bore leopards to bite us, syphilis, jaundice, and meningitis.
Spirochetes: treponema, borrelia, leptospira

Resistor color-codes: Black, Brown, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet, Gray, White.

Even back in the '80s our physics professor taught it as "rob" instead of "rape", but we all figured it out.
