下寒武

下 = 一 + 卜 : Mnemonic symbol: from the up/down logic, and a little bit the shape of the character, a ladder.

Xi Shi (xi) is on a retreat in the ashram. Using a voodoo staff (卜), she divined that next (下) week she'll have to play the flute (一) sixteen hours per day. Because she hates playing the flute, she climbs over the ashram's bathroom (a4) wall using a ladder (下) to escape.

寒 = 宀 + 井 + 一 + 八 + ⺀ : After the nuclear war the nuclear winter (寒) followed, and now the well (井) in the anthill's kitchen (an2) is frozen (寒). Hamlet (h) first puts a graduation cap (宀) over the well to protect it from radioactive fallout, then he breaks the ice by throwing a big eightball (八) into the well. Finally he is able to suck up some fresh water using a flute (一), although he discovers that under the ice beautiful blossoms (⺀) have grown.

武 = 一 + 弋 + 止 : Mnemonic symbol: a tank.

武 = 一 + 弋 + 止 : Inside of the space station Willy Walrus sits in a tank and guards the space station. The tank is parked behind a barrier, and Willy has a bow at his side. There's nothing to do though, so he just plays his flute.
