三对三斗牛

三 = 一 + 二 : Mnemonic symbol: Cartesian coordinate system with three (三) axes. Socrates (s-) is performing in front of the anthill (-an1). He created an electrical flute by attaching a large capacitor (二) to the flute (一), so that he can get the attention of all the people. Moreover, he's balancing on a Cartesian coordinate system (三). Unfortunately, only three (三) people stop to watch the performance.

对 = 又 + 寸 : Doggy Dog is preparing for a boxing battle in the bathroom of the Eiffel Tower. He wears his boxing gloves and thumbs up to himself, reassuring himself that he'll knock out his opponent easily.

斗 = ⺀ + 十 : Mnemonic symbol: a 斗牛士 (dou4 niu2 shi4) is a matador, who will represent 斗 when used as component.

The matador (斗) and Don Quixote (d) are fighting (斗) in the outhouse's bathroom (ou4) about who may use the bathroom next. The matador yields a holy cross (十) as a weapon, while Don Quixote (d) wisely chose a blossom (⺀) to cushion the crosses' blows.

牛 = 𠂉 + 十 : A bull has been locked to a big cross in the outhouse's kitchen, and Nefertiti has the key. She promises to free the bull if he pledges allegiance to her leadership.
