Mnemonic:
If you end up with DOTS on your NECK, there must be a STORY to tell.
- The old lady kept the motorcycle gang thoroughly amused with anecdote after anecdote
about her cute little dog. - Alvare told an anecdote about the time Jessica got her big toe stuck in a bowling ball.
- The vice president set the crowd at ease with a touching anecdote about his childhood
desire to become a public servant. - To say that the evidence of life on other planets is merely anecdotal is to say that we
haven’t captured any aliens, but simply have heard a lot of stories from people claiming to
have been kidnapped by flying saucers.

Mnemonics:
- Making an OMELETTE for breakfast on a school day would be an
ANOMALY. (No time!) • ANOMALY sounds like ABNORMALITY.
