Mnemonic


[p-] Patrick Star is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop, dressed as a judge, fake white hair wig and all, because he is in a 判 judging sort of mood. He carries a 刂 saber he found minutes earlier in the shop. Anything he 判 judges as being insufficient, he cuts in 半 half. The toilet did not flush properly, so he says "I 判 judge thee" and cuts it in half.
