Do you guys have any easy pneumonics to remember what trunks/cords certain nerves come from?

I remember that for the trunks, there was this pneumonic:
3 Men......Assasinated.......5 Rats.......5 Man......&.....ur Uncle
5,6,7............5, 6.............C5->T1.....C5->T1.............C8,T1
Musc N........Axillary N.......Radial N....Median N.............Ulnar

But according to this, Axillary N should come only from the upper trunk, but when I look at the pic, it shows it comes from the 3 trunks???? :?

Always remember
Roots and trunks in neck ( Post Triangle )
divisions behind clavicle
cords and branches in axilla

Branches
Three from Lateral cord
Five each from Post and Medial cord
Axillary from Post cord with root value C 5and C6
