周休二日

周 = ⺆ + 土 + 口 : Mnemonic symbol: a hula hoop. James II of England (zh) performs in front of the outhouse (ou1): he swings a hula hoop (周), juggles three mandarins (口) and balances a small heap of dirt (土) on his head. He cheated a little bit though, because he stapled the heap of dirt to his wig with a stapler (⺆).

休 = 亻 + 木 : Mnemonic symbol: a folding chair

休 = 亻 + 木 : Rosa Luxemburg took Marie Curie for a long trip to the outhouse, and now Marie Curie is tired. Luckily there's a nice and big Christmas tree in front of the outhouse, so Rosa Luxemburg sets up Marie's folding chair in its shadow to let her rest.

二 = 一 : Mnemonic symbol: a capacitor, because the two strokes remind me of the symbol in electrical drawings. Albert Einstein (Ø) is experimenting with a capacitor (二) in the space station's bathroom (Ø4). He finds that it's uncomfortable to discharge a capacitor using two flutes (一).

日 = 囗 + 一 : Robinson Crusoe (r) is hiding from the sun (日) in an enclosure (囗) full of flutes (一) in the space station's bathroom (Ø4).
