I found myself reading the soy milk carton this morning at breakfast. Compulsive reading seems to be our lot as humans. Mixed in with information that I want and need is a whole host of information that I would rather do without. The problem is that we don’t know unless we read it. I get a little disgusted with myself as I drive down the highway, reading all of the billboards. The makers of Kikkoman soy products got my attention, and I got yours. Soy to the world!
Gee Mukade, that was pretty good.
Though I probably wouldn’t try to use a fish as an airship at home, it was nice to have the warning.
Doug, I am a compulsive package reader too. I was going to say that when I go in the bathroom I look around for something–a shampoo bottle…anything–that I can read, but that would be oversharing.
I love soy sauce. It’s best if you buy it at the asian grocery though where it has actual alcohol in it instead of sodium benzoate or whatever-the-heck-it-is that they put in the american version. You get a better flavor out of it, it’s a bit less salty and little sweeter, I think.
Mmmm… soy…
… too late. 
Do what my parents did… Install a magazine rack.
Truth is, what we now have is an assortment of books including The Bathroom Readers, and other short-segment reads.
Show me! Show you! Kikkoman!! 
Good one, Mukade.
I am scared to death of getting stuck somewhere without a book. I once had to take shelter in a little diner from a bad storm and I didn’t have a book with me. I had to spend a couple of hours with nothing to read but an Avon catalogue I found on a table. Talk about a nightmare!!! 
That’s horrifying Cynth! Don’t scare me!
that kikkoman film… 
it’s sooooo japanese!!
could have been from the engrish page. . .
Hehe. I have one of those…uh, well, two of them, actually. Useful for nonfiction reading. In these times, it’s essential to multitask.
I assume that everyone knows that “show you” is very close to the Japanese word for “soy sauce”. It took a moment for it to register.
(I suppose “show me” could be taken to be “relish, gusto, appreciation”, but I’m not sure if that was intended.)
