Mnemonic


[sh-] Shrek is in the [4] bathroom of the [-(o)u] bakery, cleaning his 壽 beard that has a bunch of dough, flour, and croissants stuck in it. Shrek believes that shaving reduces 壽 longevity, so he has a nasty green 壽 beard that he won't shave off and keeps on getting things stuck in it. To Shrek, being unsanitary is a small price for 壽 longevity. Though he may be fired, soon, if this goes on.
