Mnemonic


[zhu-] George Costanza is in the [4] bathroom of the [-_] house where he is trying 筑 to construct a sort of ⺮ bamboo sauna. He puts a ⺮ bamboo 工 cross beam above the bathtub and then 筑 constructs a sauna around it by using a bunch of ⺮ bamboo strips that are on a 凡 tray next to the sink. Boom! It probably doesn't work because George can't do anything right, especially something complex like 筑 constructing this bathroom sauna.
