Koohii stories:

1) [synewave] 22-4-2007(31): If you snore, your nose becomes dry. I try to remember the slightly different bottom part by wanting to hit the snoring nose with two hands but can't quite reach. KUN yomi reading いびき.

2) [gavmck] 18-3-2010(6): If you cannot breathe through your nose, your airways become dry and you snore. Note: To remember 丌 - An old snoring cure was to stuff a pie (mathematical π) into subject's mouth. Because so many choked this cure fell out of favour.

3) [Boy.pockets] 7-3-2011(3): People snore when a combination of two elements occur; 1. their nose is deformed (the strange two arms) and 2. their nose is dry.

4) [mantixen] 2-8-2009(2): Stay dry (from alcohol) and wear a nose plug if you tend to snore.

5) [Peppi] 24-5-2009(2): My girlfried has a sweet SNUB-NOSE (to remember the short strokes) but she snores amazingly strong…! She sucks the air into her nose until everything in the flat is DRY. She is like a hoover!
