Mnemonic


[p-] Patrick Star is in the [4] bathroom of the [-o] office building, taking a break from work. He wears a collared shirt and tie and is in the process of trying 破 to break a 石 stone he found in his pocket, that probably came from his rock house. He hits it as hard as he can, and it finally 破 breaks into two. However, the force of the blow has also caused his 皮 skin 破 to break into two, and to fall of into two piles on the office bathroom floor.
