Mnemonic
Grandma swings a tomahawk into the side of her car, splitting the door clean off! Now she has to tie the door back on with bungee cords. Every time grandma drives, the tomahawk-slashed door flaps like a wing, held on only by the desperate tie she rigged.
Additional thoughts
Picture grandma in a parking lot, tomahawk buried in the car door, frantically wrapping bungee cords to tie it shut. The absurd image of a tomahawk-damaged car held together by ties makes this stick.Quick recall
