Mnemonic


[ch-] Charlie Brown is in [1] front of the [-_] house, terribly hungry. He takes out a handgun, sticks it into his 口 mouth, and 吃 eats a bullet. It's a candy bullet, of course, because the gun is like one of those Pez dispensers, but in handgun form. Because it is not a real bullet, he is of course able to do it a 乙 second time as well. Charlie Brown isn't that depressed!
