In honor of the Ochem midterm I am about to take, I will make a chemistry joke. That no one will probably understand, but whatever.
Little Red Riding Hood: Look at me! I'm a ketone!
NH2-NH2: I am the Big Bad Wolff(-Kishner Reduction). I eat you now. Om nom nom!
Little Red Riding Hood: Oh no, I have have been reduced! My oxygen is gone! I am dead.
Aside from being utterly silly, this is a very good mnemonic for the Wolff-Kishner Reduction.
Anyways, I now walk to my uncertain organometallic doom (except that I am prepared, HAH! Got you there. You're not going to catch me again, Ochem!)
