Mnemonic


[gu-] Goofy is in [1] front of the [-a] auditorium where he is waiting in line for tickets. Behind him is a 瓜 melon with a small 口 mouth on it. It keeps on making a 呱 croaking sound. "呱 GUA 呱 GUA 呱 GUA". Goofy turns around and kicks the 瓜 melon, sending it flying with a loud 呱 croak away from everyone else in line. Goofy hates anything that is goofier than him.
