Mnemonic


[zh-] James Bond is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop wrapping a 宀 dollhouse with 糸 silk at the request of a customer (while going to the bathroom). Finished, he lays it on the tile floor, and pokes it with a 正 pointer to make sure it is tightly wrapped. Unfortunately, that causes the 糸 silk to 綻 split open and fall to the ground. James will have to do it again. He hates this undercover assignment.
