I remember one for the value of colour bands on resistors which I came up with while doing electronics at school but it's not exactly very family friendly... lol

I don't think you came up with it - we were taught it but yes, it's amazing how racist, sexist and violent it manages to be in so few words

So which way do you turn a steering wheel to go left?

I turn it left, personally.

I turn it right because most of the time I hold the bottom of the wheel.

Resistors is

There's a few naughtier ones but they've never stuck for some reason, guess I never had to remember them having remembered the colours themselves instead.
