Mnemonic

Being the alert fellow you are, you hear a sasquatch approaching and dive into a trash bin (びん) to hide. The bin smells really bad and you are keenly alert to all the various stenches and smells currently penetrating your nostrils, but at least you are safe.

Listen to the sasquatch rumble on by as you continue to smell the smelly smells of this putrid bin you’re in.
