Funny site

I'm still laughing, cav! :-)

Yeah I've seen that site before! Always good for a laugh! A tiny number of them seem to me to have been digitally edited, but yeah pretty much they're all true (I've seen quite a few firsthand!)

I'm quoting this a bit wrong I think, but a bit after WWII there was a sign near a construction site in Okinawa that read something like "Please pray for the erection of MacArthur"

JerryR has selections from this site in his ~ funny pictures, slow loading.

cav, You haven't heard anything yet! There used to be a Japanese drink called "cowpiss" made from milk. c.i.

lol at "cowpiss!!"

LOL CI!

C.I., it isn't made from milk. It's still a very common drink though, and the name is still funny as hell.

Monger,

I have always thought that it is made out of fermented milk. I'm no longer there so if you get a chance can you verify?

cav - thanks for the laughs! We have good time here at house talking label funny.

I like the sweet asse candy bar.

speaking of pocky sticks... hmmmmyumyummy.

Yeah, I asked about it, you're right. It uses a yoghurt base.

Good thing, I've been spreading word that the Japanese sell a milk product called calpiss for a while now.

It's pretty good though.

Quirky Japan
They offer a lot of offbeat information on Japan.

Lol, when my brother was teaching in Japan, another teacher who had moved back to her home town in Britain used his personal info and his old address to mail drugs to a friend who had taken over his ex-place of abode. This is a very serious offence in Japan.

He was picked up and interrogated thoroughly and harshly by the local police, and when they were finally convinced that he was completely innocent (he was freaking out, as he has never touched a drug in his life), the policeman in charge of the investigation took him out for a very pricey sushi dinner as an apology, and spent the evening chatting with him, and saying things like: "See that guy? He's Yakuza..." All was well that ended well. Maybe our police could take a hint from this story?
