Koohii stories:

1) [tomusan] 23-4-2008(168): Dry one item in ten minutes on the clothesline.

2) [brose] 17-2-2007(57): Note: the book shows the strokes for potato rather than dry…dry does not have the hook at the end.

3) [Viking101] 26-1-2010(31): Vampire: Upside down samurai. They suck humans dry.

4) [mantixen] 27-9-2008(15): A dry water lily with no drops on it (see even (#1484 平).

5) [Johnnyltn] 21-9-2006(14): Heisig's pictograph of a clothesline is fine, but I also see another pictograph here, that of one needle trying to push its way through the dry surface of the earth above it but because of a lack of rain the earth is parched and dry thus this one needle stays buried in the earth below. Furthermore, you could say that the earth is so dry that there's not even one needle left on it.
