The other day, while failing to get a salad and instead opting to buy scented candles, I had an amusing conversation with some very bored and loopy retail salespeeps about the various gifts from the 12 Days of Christmas and which order they came in, and the more we talked about it, the more muddled it became. Eventually we settled it, I was going to go look it up and call them with the answer, haw. I think they were kidding, at least. Curse you, internets! Making it unnecessary to memorize useless junk!

so yeah, anecdote, and meme.
