[zh-] James Bond is in [1] front of the [-an] pawn shop. He reads his 占 fortune for the day, that says he might get 氵 sprayed lightly with water if he is not careful. As he approaches the pawn shop, the sprinklers suddenly start 氵 spraying water all over him, 沾 moistening James Bond's priceless suit. Even his 占 fortune is now 沾 moistened too.
