Mnemonic


[t-] Tarzan is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop where he is taking a bathroom break from work. In the corner of the dirty bathroom is a 口 mouth on top of a 又 folding stool. The second Tarzan entered it let out a large 叹 sigh. Then when Tarzan goes over to the toilet, it 叹 sighs yet again. Tarzan 叹 sighs because this annoying 口 mouth is a pawn shop relic that the boss refuses to get rid of. He takes a leak while both him and the 口 mouth exchange 叹 sighs.
