Mnemonic


[ji-] Jimmy Neutron is in the [3] basement of the [-(o)u] bakery where he is practicing an advanced scientific form of 灸 moxibustion on some of the willing sick bakers. He places the bakers on the floor next to each other and places a 丿 slide at one end of them. Then he takes out a 入 wedge of mugwort from the storage refrigerator and uses his robot dog to light it on 火 fire. He then roles it down the 丿 slide so the burning mugwort goes over each of their exposed stomachs, instantly curing them of all their ails. They all eat croissants to celebrate.
