Mnemonic


[gu-] Goofy is in the [4] bathroom of the [-a] auditorium where he is goofing off instead of attending the boring play. He takes out a 卜 magic stick and jams it into an opening between the 圭 bricks (its a vintage auditorium bathroom) and then 掛 hangs off the 卜 magic stick using only one 扌 finger. One of the bathroom attendants asks him to please stop 掛 hanging around, as its a bathroom, not a lounge.
