I KNOW ONLY TWO WORDS WHERE ALL THE VOWELS APPEAR IN THEIR CORRECT ORDER; FACETIOUS AND ABSTEMIOUS. THERE ARE ALSO SOME (I KNOW TWO) WHERE THE VOWELS ARE REVERSED: UNCOMPLIMENTARY AND UNORIENTAL--THE LAST MAY NOT REALLY BE A WORD. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHERS?

I'm rather fond of subcontinental.
Would a subcontinental breakfast be served on an upscale or downscale submarine?
No, a subcontinental breakfast is served to a person who has just been struck by a Lincoln. Either that or it involves dining on animals that were struck by a Lincoln. Or perhaps it is breakfast anywhere in India or Pakistan. Or toast and coffee on the Nautilus. The possibilities are endless. [Alex takes another Nyquil]
The submarine could reverse its engines quietly and travel unnoticeably.
