ABSTRACT

When people meet me for the first time, they can't help noticing my bushy beard. This may remind them of the man with the beard on packages of Smith Brothers cough drops. Now, if you need cough drops for your cough or cold, you may also have a stuffy nose; if so, you should remember that in an emergency, one's sleeve may be substituted for a missing handkerchief. Because sleeve rhymes with Steve, you can remember my entire name simply by seeing me, face to (bearded) face: The beard leads to Smith brothers cough drops, which leads to sleeve, which rhymes with Steve.
