Mnemonic


[zhu-] George Costanza is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop where he is trying 撰 to compose a letter. He sits on the toilet and 撰 composes on a piece of wet 共 seaweed, using his 扌 finger to write the words. When he is done, he wraps what he 撰 composed in two different 巳 snakeskins then washes his hands and thinks about how much of a genius he is. In reality what he 撰 composed was utterly unoriginal.
