Some language fun with heaters
Today John and I were thinking of calling an appliance repair service about a heater problem, but we both forgot the name of the repair service, which was "Bonfe."
When we remembered, I tried to think of a mnemonic to avoid forgetting it again, and what I came up with was "it's what you get when you take the 'ir' out of 'bonfire'."
And since 'ir' means 'go' in Spanish, my brain replied to that thought by adding, "It's like taking the 'go' out of 'fuego.'"
And then I realized that if you take "go" out of "fuego," you get "fue"... which, as luck would have it... is the past tense of "ir."
So, yeah, I don't think I will forget that name again. Yay for wordplay.
