Koohii stories:

1) [happychair] 6-3-2006(218): Having decided to use SIGN OF THE HARE rather than RECEIPT and STAMP my mnemonic goes as follows: The WILLOW is the TREE that droops likes a HARE's ears.

2) [wasurenaide] 14-12-2007(106): A strange thing about the japanese willow tree is, it grows eggs… but the eggs have no yokes. weird eh?

3) [Virtua_Leaf] 5-1-2008(51): I ordered a willow tree off Amazon but when it arrived it was covered in postage stamps. I try to peel them off but it ends up leaving a papery mess and cheapifies the willow's appearance. Luckily I kept a receipt.

4) [taijuando] 16-5-2006(26): At the Willow Tree Nursery first you pick up your tree you can leave the lot when you show your receipt .. you also get a stamp for your next purchase.

5) [kfmfe04] 28-9-2008(15): A willow tree looks like it has receipts and stamps hanging off it.
