Koohii stories:

1) [laner36] 21-11-2007(202): To me, this looks like a pictograph of a road leading to the big city (see the buildings?) where there are plenty of places to be entertained. Unfortunately in this city, every store is the same: staples. What tools! [ayoung24].

2) [Shizuru] 27-8-2007(90): Photographically, this kanji simply looks like a set of two speakers (the staples primitives) between the sub-woofer (primitive for same) – all this as a tool to entertain a group of drunks at a club.

3) [aphasiac] 9-9-2010(39): Wacky Japanese TV entertain-ment show: a monk is stapled to the wall on both sides with huge staples, whilst contestants throw tools at his face.

4) [sgrant] 12-12-2008(34): This is a pictograph an entertainment system (two speakers left and right of the main unit, which has a CD slot and a tape deck) on a table-top.

5) [mantixen] 23-9-2008(24): Whenever I go to Staples I end up looking at the same tools every time (PDAs, printers, etc.) but it manages to entertain me.
