Would you like to be able to memorize the serial numbers of dollar bills?
Have the whole year's calendar in your head?  Here's the way Nyuk Nyuk!
There was this memory expert called Bruno Furst, who used to appear on
TV shows wowing the audience.  He sold a memory course in the mail for
years, with his secret system.  Here is the gist of it, from memory of
course Nyuk!
    1 = tie
    2 = noah
    3 = ma
    4 = rye
    5 = law
    6 = shoe
    7 = cow
    8 = ivy
    9 = pa
    0 = zoo
That's it!  Now figure it out for yourself Nyuk!
OK, here's a little help.  The above associations were developed from years
of practice, they maximize your memory's power because they have the most
associations embedded in them.  You have to spend whatever time it takes to
memorize the above code, then you're in business!  The way Furst taught it,
tie has 1 downstroke in the t, so it's 1; noah has 2 downstrokes in the n,
so it's 2; ma is 3 for 3 downstrokes in the m; 4 is r because r is 4
backwards; I forget why 5 is law but it's natural and easy to remember
Nyuk!; 6 is shoe because both start with s; 7 is cow because it looks like
horns or a k backwards; 8 is ivy because ivy winds all around in a
figure-eight; 9 is pa because 9 is a p upside down; and 0 is zoo because
both start with z Nyuk!
Now how do you remember a whole year's calendar in your head?  Easy, just
look up the date of the first Sunday in each month and memorize that.  You
can then deduce the whole month!  (Remember: 30 days past September, April,
June, and November; the rest have 31, except February which stands alone 
Nyuk!)
Let's do 1997:
   January   5  Law
   February  2  Noah
   March     2  Noah
   April     6  Shoe
   May       4  Rye
   June      8  Ivy
   July      6  Shoe
   August    3  Ma
   September 7  Cow
   October   5  Law
   November  2  Noah
   December  7  Cow
So, January is Law.  To remember this think of lawyers sitting around at the
Super Bowl Nyuk!  Easier yet, remember that on the Patriots Super Bowl team
they had Lawyer Milloy (36) and Ty Law (24), both on the defensive team!
Also remember L is for losers Nyuk!
Now let's say you want to know what day Jan. 23 falls on.  Law is 5, so you
add 18 days to Sunday, that's 2 weeks plus 4 days, so the 23rd must fall on
Sunday + 4 = Wednesday Nyuk!  Jan. 30 must be the last Wednesday, etc.
Super Bowl Sunday was 5+21 = the 26th Nyuk!
February is Noah.  Imagine Noah's ark with a big Valentine's day card on it.
March is also Noah.  Imagine a lion and a lamb on Noah's ark, get it? Nyuk!
 Or, Noah's animals come marching in Nyuk!
April is shoe.  Imagine the Easter Bunny missing a shoe Nyuk!
May is rye.  Imagine a maypole in a field of rye Nyuk!  Or a maid called May
 swigging rye whiskey Nyuk!
June is ivy.  Imagine getting poison ivy as soon as it warms up in June Nyuk!
July is shoe.  Imagine getting a hot foot on the Fourth of July Nyuk!  Or
 one of them patriots playing Yankee Doodle, missing his shoe Nyuk!
August is ma.  Imagine ma trying to get you to go back to school Nyuk!
September is cow.  Imagine the making cheese before the winter sets in.
October is law.  Cops guarding kids on Halloween.  The Supreme Court closes.
November is Noah.  There is a turkey on Noah's ark.
December is cow.  Imagine all them cheese balls given away on Xmas Nyuk!
OK, so you spent a half hour now you have the entire 1997 calendar in your 
head!
Let's try it.
  Feb. 28.  Noah, I didn't know you cared!  Noah = 2.  9.  16.  23.
     Sunday + 5 = Friday.
