I am a Japanese School Teacher

Outpost Nine :: Editorials :: I am a Japanese School Teacher

Here's the site Jon wanted me to blog. Its about an American who went to Japan to teach. Its a lot of funny stories.

Here's an example story:
"I was at the gym with a female Japanese friend. We were watching the news on TV when suddenly she turns to me and asks "So, you're American, right? How many guns do you have?"

Notice the word usage here. Not "if" I have guns, no! "How many" guns do I have. Because surely, as a red-blooded American, I own guns. Yee-haw, when I'm not drinkin' my root beer and eating myself damn to death, I sure love me to shoot some stuff! *thumbs up*

Clearly, I needed to set her straight. I pointed my first finger at her in the classic "Now let me tell you something..." pose, but before words could escape my mouth, she innocently said "Oh, only one gun?"

Somewhere in the world, I imagine Charlton Heston is quite pleased with himself. "
