減薪

减 = 冫 + 咸 : Joan of Arc (ji) found that there's a giant popsicle (冫) obstructing the way to the bar inside of the anthill (an3). To clear the way, she reduces (减) the size of the popsicle by scattering salt (咸) all over it.

薪 = 艹 + 新 : Marie Curie (xi) received her salary (薪) in front of the encampment ((e)n1) which consists of a set of completely new (新) sheets of artificial lawn (艹). Unfortunately they catch fire and prove to be the ideal fuel (薪) for a quickly burning fire: the artificial lawn is burning down within seconds.
