Mnemonic


[sh-] Shrek is in the [4] bathroom of the [-ai] high school where he is skipping class. He is sick of everyone commenting on his green skin, so he hired a 覀 cowboy to lasso a 日 sun into the boys bathroom, and now he lies on the tile floor where he 晒 basks in the 日 sun trying to turn his skin a darker and more popular shade of green. The 覀 cowboy stands there holding the lassoed 日 sun while the high school students wonder why someone is 晒 basking in the middle of the bathroom.
