持 = 寺 + 扌 : Charlie Chaplin brought his Buddhist shrine to the space station, but just inside the entrance he realizes that he didn't think of zero gravity as his shrine is about to float away. His only option at the moment is to grasp the shrine with two toy claws and manage it this way.

久 = ㇏ + 勹 : Mnemonic symbol: an hourglass.

Joan of Arc (ji) has been waiting for ages (久) for the elephant (勹) to get up from the outhouse's living room (ou3) sofa. She point towards a huge expired hourglass (久) and pokes him with a finger (㇏) to make him finally get up.
