My contest was never for "filthy" mnemonics. I wonder what
potentially could happen, though, if I were to refer students to the
Wikipedia page where there happened to be some off-color mnemonics in the
list?

You may have noticed in my texts that I refer to the known cranial nerve
mnemonics as "ranging from the sublimely silly to the unprintably
ribald."
