July 4.  Ouch hot foot in my shoe!  Shoe = 6.  First Sunday of July is the
    6th, so the 4th must be Friday.
  August 31. Ma, I don't want to go back to school Nyuk!  Ma = 3. 
    3, 10, 17, 24, 31.  So, it's a Sunday.
  December 25.  Oh no another cheese ball for Xmas Nyuk!  Cow = 7.
    7, 14, 21.  Sunday + 4 = Thursday.
  Feb. 14.  Noah = 2.  2, 9, 16.  Sunday, Saturday, Friday.
  April Fool's Day.  Where is the Easter Bunny's shoe? Nyuk!  Shoe = 6.
   So, the 8th is Tuesday, and so is the 1st.
Got it? Nyuk!
But there's more.
Let's say you want to memorize a long number:
           38483772102
OK:
   ma ivy rye ivy ma cow cow noah tie zoo noah
The idea is to collapse the above phrase into a phonetic code then recast
it into a phrase you can't forget.  For this purpose ma is condensed to m,
ivy to v/f, cow to k, noah to n, tie to t/d, zoo to z or s.
    1 = tie     t/d
    2 = noah    n
    3 = ma      m
    4 = rye     r
    5 = law     l
    6 = shoe    sh/ch/j
    7 = cow     k/g
    8 = ivy     v/f
    9 = pa      p/b
    0 = zoo     z/s
Notice the 10 associations cover all the consonants.  Vowels are non-
informative, like in written Hebrew Nyuk!  So the idea is to turn the
big number into consonants, add vowels, and make a phrase you can't
forget!
           38483772102
   My fairy fame kick nuts in Nyuk!
   3   84   83   77   210  2
Which would you rather remember? Nyuk!
Going the other way, let's say we remember that our combination to our
lock is "paradise".  What number is that?  9410 Nyuk!
"Blossoms into womanhood".  This is a girl's phone number Nyuk!
950-302-1321 Nyuk!
"Dolly Parton" Nyuk!  159412.
"Green Bay Packers" Nyuk!  74299740.
