During one of the most recent television FedEx commercials, an office worker, presumably the supervisor, informs his fellow workers that he is using mnemonics to remember names. When the fellow workers ask him to illustrate this, he addresses each person with their mnemonic names, "Penney Saved is a Penney earned, Dwayne the Bathtub and Magic Wanda." The final person, asking for his mnemonic name and is advised he's a "Danfool." Becoming sullen, Dan is advised by "Magic Wanda" that it (a danfool) is just a device and not to take it personally. Many people have searched the internet to determine what a "danfool" is--there is no such device. What "Magic Wanda" is actually saying to Dan is that "danfool" is just THE mnemonic device being used to remember his name; he's not actually being called 'Dan FOOL' This is a clever device used by the advertising agency to get the audience to pay closer attention to the commercial. It has worked!
