That reminds me of a time in college when we were studying networking.  We were being taught the OSI network layers and the teacher gave us the phrase to help remember them all:  "Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza Away"

Transport
Network
Data Link

Similar to you, the phrase is what stuck in my head and now if I ever need to
remember all the layers in the OSI model, I just use that phrase.  Even as a kid I still remember "Never Eat Shredded Wheat" when having to draw a compass.
