Are resistors directional?

When I was in avionics school for the Navy, we learned a mnemonic to remember the colors that was kind of dirty. ;)

Yep, but sometimes you have to point out the obvious.

I was just going to post if anyone remembered the mneumonic device for the resitor color code...
Sadly I do not (the clean or the dirty one...) it's been like uh 11 years since I've even thought about that...

I've always remembered the color codes because of the middle section going ROYGBV, which is pretty much the ROY-G-BIV that people use to remember the colors of the rainbow. For the other colors, it just goes light to dark, so there is black brown at the beginning, grey white at the end.
