Mnemonic


[g-] Gandalf is in [1] front of the [-an] pawn shop smoking his tobacco pipe. Someone comes up and notices a used 干 syringe on the ground and asks if it is Gandalf's. Gandalf is extremely 干 offended, to such a degree that he gets up and uses his magic to turn the person into a matching 干 syringe which falls onto the ground, before going back to smoking his pipe.
