The 12 tribes of Jacob

When I was memorizing the 12 tribes of Jacob I was living with my friend Jenny. She lives in a small two bedroom, two floor apartment.
1) When I first walk up to the apartment there is a soggy Ruben sandwich on the stool outside. (Ruben - Water)
2, 3) Inside, on the coffee table are two oxen fighting and they have heads that look like a couple kids I remember from high school named Simon and Levi. (Simeon, Levi -Ox)
4) In the dog kennel is a lion named Judah. (Judah - Lion)
5) Upstairs in the bath tub is a toy ship with Zeb from the movie saw controlling it (Zebulon - Ships)
6) On the toilet sits a donkey (ass) named Issachar. The double 'ss' helped connect them. (Issachar - Ass)
7) A snake with the face off my boss Dan is wrapped around the stripper pole. (Dan - Serpent)
8) A man named Gad is getting trampled on as people rush to get the money. (Gad - Trampled)
9) Asher is throwing money off the balcony and it is floating down like ashes. (Asher - Riches)
10) On my nightstand is a tall deer laying under a tree. (Naphtali - Deer)
11) Laying under the fruitful tree with the deer is another kid I remember from high school. (Joseph - fruitful boughs) 
12) Laying on my bed is a wolf named Benjamin. (Benjamin - Wolf)

The names of the sons were a lot harder to memorize than the symbol. I had to do a lot of word play and connections to people that I actually know.
