Mnemonic


[cu-] Cupid is in the [4] bathroom of the [-o] office, where he sees a big piece of turf in the middle of the room. He flies up to and lands on it, but it is a 錯 mistake. In reality, it is a piece of 金 metal that is so hot it has a bunch of green flames as hot as the 日 sun emanating from it. Because of this 錯 mistake Cupid's little wings burn off, and he has to jump into a dirty office urinal to cool down.
