[ji-] Jimmy Neutron is in the [4] bathroom of the [-(e)n] infirmary, where he has set up a little 示 altar and put a miniature 林 woods on top of it. A doctor comes in and tells Jimmy he can't do that, because it is 禁 prohibited. The doctor then points to a sign above the entrance of the bathroom that clearly says: "示 ALTARS 禁 PROHIBITED", and smugly says "hey genius, can't you read?".
