Koohii stories:
1) [Katsuo] 15-2-2008(167): Just one drop (of alcohol) and he starts walking in zig-zags – no wonder Zorro's living in destitution. (Note: As a primitive let 之 be Zorro or Zig-Zag: it's pictographic).
2) [matticus] 22-2-2006(132): Children in complete destitution have no hope of ever getting toys to play with, so when they find even a tiny drop of a building block they are overjoyed.
3) [Filip] 31-1-2008(54): The people living in destitution POOR. Zorro gives them every drop he has: drops of sweat while fighting, drops of blood when he is cut down,… even the senorita gets some drops.
4) [Shibo] 20-5-2008(24): Zorro helps prostitutes living in destitution. He gives them money, in return they allow him to cover them in drops of Zorro. What a philanthropist! (thanks filip!).
5) [digicult] 15-6-2009(12): This is bad story, but whatever, it works, I was having real trouble with this kanji: On those Sunday morning World Vision shows you see African children living in total destitution, often wearing some wacky T-shirt that was popular in the West back in the 80's or something. Now see one little destitute child wearing a T-shirt that reads "A Drop of Zorro." A Drop of Zorro? What the hell? I don't remember that movie!
