Suddenly a 扌 finger comes up to him and 撕 tears his 其 clothes hamper open with a 斤 hoe, throwing some of his dirty square pants all over the lawn, then runs away while Spongebob wonders what he ever did to deserve this. He gets up as quick as he can, and in the process... accidentally 撕 tore open his pants!
