Numbers
I can't remember my Gfs phone number, it's on my phone. Can't remember my current driver's license number.
But I remember my 1st DL number and my ex-wife's. They were easy as they were A1B2C3 style. Then my second DL, but this new one has no easy way to remember.
I can remember phone numbers from being a kid. Especially where Mom worked as she had to answer the phone with the phone number.
Craziest phone number was when I owned a hologram store in Leavenworth Kansas. SW Bell gave me 913-758-1000. People in Leavenworth wouldn't believe me, as the usual numbers had run out and the 758 numbers were just coming out. To make it worse, the US Government had a parallel phone system called FTS numbers. You had to be on their phone system and dial about 200 digits to get through. Turns out my 913-758-1000 was the same as the FTS phone number for the penitentiary at Leavenworth. Used to get interesting calls. Usually the calls started out, "is this Leavenworth?" I'd always answer truthfully, "look out the window & I see the town of Leavenworth." Once the warden at Guam was going to send me a prisoner. I replied, "well I guess he can sweep up the floor."
Never figured it out until a couple of maintenance guys from the USP came in and we got to talking.
