Finally, for reasons.

I’m especially fond of the use of “Finally,” in the middle of the list.
Sixth reason: to help you write more interesting advertising copy!
It’s funny because it’s true.

has anyone had any luck with the “refuse the future” part?
Sake makes you silly.
I tried that when I was little and was about to be spanked for misbehaving. It never worked.
ain’t we all!
reality is a mother…
I did that a lot in my stupid youth. It turns out the future was just a bit more powerful than my stupidity. Thankfully.
REASONS FOR DRINKING
Dr. Henry Aldrich
If all be true that I do think,
There are five reasons we should drink.
Good wine-a friend-or being dry-
Or lest we should be by and by-
Or any other reason why!
Yeah, engrish.com is one of my favs…especially if I’m having a bad day; there are some that give me the giggles so bad I’ve got to close my office door and just let it out.
The stuff I saw when I was in Japan…priceless, much of it.
A fellow student and I wanted to retaliate and walk around with t-shirts that read, “Chigaimashō!” on them in Japanese syllabic script. Not grammatically incorrect, strictly speaking, but an improbable formation departing from the norm and roughly meaning “Let’s different!”
In the end we decided not to, as our experience suggested that only Japanese-speaking Anglophones would get the joke.

Yep. About the same.
Yeah - obviously they changed the order to get the rhyme. ![]()
Still, I thought Ohana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind. This whole sake angle is confusing me.

“Ohana” means “flower” in Japanese. Hana is the word itself, and o- is an honorific that in this case suggests a sort of cultural institution. For example, the Japanese would seldom if ever say “sake”: it would be “osake” (sometimes seen in Romanised script as “o-sake”). It’s what accounts for clumsy translations like “honorable toilet” in English from the word obenjō.
Well, “hana” also means “nose”, but I don’t believe that this was the likely idea. ![]()
Hmmm… “caulliflower ear”… “flower nose”… hmmm…
If it isn’t cheap American beer it isn’t worth drinking. hiccup
