Mnemonic


[n-] Ned Flanders is in the [4] bathroom of the [-a] auditorium where he finds an 示 altar that he wishes to pray at next to one of the bathroom attendants. He goes up to it but finds there is an unsightly 大 big 扌 finger sticking out of the 示 altar. He tries to 捺 press down the 扌 finger back into the alter so that it is out of sight, but fails to. Each time he 捺 presses down the 扌 finger it pops back out. It's a 大 big annoyance. Some annoying stage prop that has found its way into the bathroom, Ned thinks.
