An Unimperial Union

Ms. Patrick, of pornographic renown, and Mr. Iyer, the travel writer, entered wedlock. They were driving back from their nuptials in a -9 when the vehicle ran over a -2pede. Iyer let a yelp of joy out, much to the disgust of his bride.

Morse Code Mnemonic

Based on the (auditory) length of each monosyllabic word. Wikipedia lent the idea:

In the United Kingdom many people learned the Morse code by means of a series of words or phrases that have the same rhythm as a Morse character. For instance "Q" in Morse is dah - dah - di - dah, which can be memorized by the phrase "God save the Queen"; and the Morse for "F" is di - di - dah - dit, which can be memorized as "Did she like it."

I decided to go one little step further and make it all as alliterative as possible, in order that I remember the code better. Underposted is my scheme, for your mnemonical pleasure.
