Meaning Mnemonic
If the pope spends all day staring at fins on the ground, he’s going to lose touch with reality. He should be focusing on his popish duties, but instead he’s looking at the fish fins he dropped, and now can’t eat because they’re dirty. Silly pope. You can’t let this one thing get you down. You have other things to do.
Reading Mnemonic
You’re doing your best to bring the pope back to reality when he snaps and kicks you in the shin (しん). Oww! What the heck, pope! But he’s already back staring at the fins and your shin is throbbing where he kicked.
