Nope, the first time it has been of any use to me in all the years that useless phrase has been in my head. For some reason it stuck like the cholesterol from a Big Mac to an artery, and I can impress potential employers by reciting it whenever they ask, "Please convince us why therisingblues would be a good fit for our company!" It has never worked unfortunately, I actually think some of them thought I was a bit weird but I firmly believe that is their problem and I am perfectly okay. Likewise, girls appear to be repelled when I approach them in nightclubs and introduce myself by saying "Guess what I can do..." I am really not sure why people would not be impressed, so these failures have not stopped me from teaching the phrase to my kids, and just as well, because they started getting beaten up at school shortly after! So like I say to them now, it is lucky they can recite the phrase, because they can take solace in their uncanny ability to remember what the ingredients of a Big Mac are when getting smashed up by the school bully.
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail
