There's a line in the John Adams miniseries where the Continental Congress had just selected Washington to lead the army. Ben Franklin turns to Adams and says: "he was bound to lead something; he's the tallest man in the room".

Apocryphal, sure. A clever mnemonic, you bet.

Mnemonic?

The scene itself (or the lines themselves) is (are) the mnemonic, something that helps me remember height co-related with command.
