Mnemonic


[zhu-] George Costanza is in the [4] bathroom of the [-(e)i] beach house by the bay, taking a bath in the bathtub. Next to him is a 阝 hill of sandy 土 soil for some reason. Every couple of seconds, a 豕 pig with 丷 horns comes shooting out of the top of the 土 soil 阝 hill, flying into the air before 墜 falling onto George with a splash. Soon there is a 阝 hill of 豕 pigs with 丷 horns on top of George in the bathtub, all wearing little 豕 pig bathing suits, too. Some of them start 墜 to fall off and out the bathroom window. George mumbles to himself that his life has 墜 fallen to a new low.
