play "Your cheatin' heart", and the bride just requested "Don't come home
a'drinkin' with lovin' on your mind".

Ummm - isn't that how I started this subthread? With the longer/shorter
observation?

About port wine - those of us who dined at the correct establishments also
knew that you pass the (red) *port* wine to the gentleman at your *left*
(there were of course no ladies present at the time). The madeira (also red
:-( ) goes to your right. There we go again: madeira is the longer word.

While there may be some truth to that, it does absolutely nothing to
help me remember hemispherical cruising altitudes :-)

Well, if you're coming *from California*, i.e. eastbound, you should use odd
altitudes. It works pretty well for me. To each his own.
