[w-] Walter White is in [1] front of the [-ai] high school where he works. He is trying to balance the no-smoking 不 no sign 🚫 at the end of his classroom 正 pointer in the front lawn of the school. However, no matter what he does, it is always slightly 歪 askew. The kids point and laugh at the 歪 askew 不 no sign and Walter turns red with rage.
