Mnemonic symbol: a beggar from ancient Egypt.
The beggar from ancient Egypt (匃) found work as an elephant (勹) rider. He rides his elephant through the palace's bathroom (ai4) while the elephant carries a sarcophagus (亾) with his trunk. He doesn't know that Guy Fawkes (g) secretly sneaked into the sarcophagus to hitch a ride.
