Meaning Mnemonic

Regardless of whether or not you wear a hat while you jackhammer, you’re going to have a surplus of noise. Jackhammers are loud, and your hat is doing nothing to dampen the racket. There’s a surplus of commotion coming from the jackhammer and onlookers are not amused.

Hints

The hat you’re wearing is ridiculous, giving you a surplus of bad style. Imagine a bunch of people scowling at you, not only because of your crazy hat, but because of the annoying sound of the jackhammer. Hear the obnoxious noise around you as the jackhammer rattles your bones.

Reading Mnemonic

One of the people walking by is the owner of a push cart yo-yo (よ) stand. Having a surplus of yo-yos, he starts throwing them at you. This makes you stop using the jackhammer as you need both hands to fend off the yo-yo barrage.

Hints

Your hat is doing little to defend you from the onslaught of yo-yos being tossed at you. Feel the yo-yos hitting your body and listen to them roll away after striking you.
