I just read an article about how the powers that be in Japan, after apparently years of deliberation, have finally accepted the fact that drinking water during exercise might actually be helpful in fending off heat stroke and dehydration. This is contrary to the previous notion that drinking water during physical activity will cause fatigue and diarrhea. Now they just have to start a committee to ascertain the facts about the longstanding belief that eating burnt meat causes cancer. The results should be back in June of 2029.
I brought cheese and crackers in my lunch today. Apparently Japanese kids have never seen a cracker because they were all losing their shit that I had packed "cookies" in my lunch. They almost fell outta their chairs when I put a piece of cheese on my "cookie" and ate it. I tried several times to explain that these were crackers, not cookies, but there is no use trying to reason with a group of five year-olds after they've made up their minds.
Oh yes, I got kancho-ed today by one of my students. For those of you not residing in the Land of the Rising Sun a little explanation is in order. A kancho is all the rage in Japan. If you would like to import this little cultural ditty from Japan I'll tell you how its done.
1. put your hands together and stick out your pointer fingers. your hands should look like you're holding a pistol with two hands.
2. sneak up on a unsuspecting friend
3. ram those two finger in your friends butthole as quickly and forcefully as you can.
4. run away and giggle.
