Signs of the times - Japan

I just have to share this...honestly. These japanese-english signs just cracks me to bits. I think it is courageous for them to put up things like this. Enjoy!

Ode to the Condom

I am going to be on the booth distributing condoms tomorrow.

I am hoping that with that, I'll bring no sorrow.

The size, the color, the flavor will not matter,

The more I give, it would be for the better.

I'll give it to men and ladies, girls and laddies,

I'll donate to those having parties.

For it will not only prevent HIVs

It also prevents STIs and other nasties.

They may say that it's not like the real skin

When sleeping with someone through sweet love or sin

But then the measure of real men

Is being responsible before the act even begin

And though I know that this sound corny

Just a thought for the horny:

Be sure to have a condom always ready

And give something useful for the needy!

Mid Life Attacks 4: Guiltless Sex

And so it was that the topics during dinner, wander not far from the usual talks of sex and relationships. I could have sworn that the chillis and the pepper in the Manipuri food could have caused the super hot discussions. Of course it does not dwell on sex per se, but hovers around it. Funny, because since we started on talking about basically anything with relation to sex, I kind of looked forward to dinner!

I remember one particular conversation with a friend, whilst I was in Ethiopia. She's young and smart and just so happened that, she finished a relationship before coming for a mission.

“It’s not just about sex, you know,” my friend started. “It’s about having an intimate contact with someone you care for, someone you love.”

Uh-hm. I tried to swallow my food hard and fast coz this was the first time I have heard her talk about sex....

“Of course, it’s inevitable that sometimes you meet someone hot and zing! Morals aside, you find yourself in bed with this guy you don’t even know who,” she continued.

“What do you mean inevitable?” Asked someone from the far end.

“You know, hot guy + alcohol, or not so-hot guy + alcohol and more alcohol, equals sex. Guiltless sex”

“And this happens every time?”

“Not really…Like once a week when I’m in Europe.”

It was here that I interjected. In between munching the chicken and saying a point, I waved my hand like I wanted the teacher to notice me.

“If it’s not about sex and it’s about having an intimate contact with the one you love, then what is this about alcohol and hot guy thing, coz you have, definitely --- lost me there!” I said.

Quiet.

“If you truly care for your partner, then just the mere act of kissing someone would give you a bazonka of guilt trip!” I added.

And then she said: “Shut up you fucking moron. I am trying to think here…”

I continued: “Did your brain descend between your loins now?”

Dagger looks.

The chicken was really chewy.

Signs Galore

The japs got us. I was in stitches the moment I received my first funny Engrish photo. Well, have a look at these nice ones. Start from the Sexual Harassment company and end with the Erection Party!

Does this remind you of a liquid literature?

They are also downloading songs by Avrir Ravinge, Red Zepperin and of course, Jurio Igresias.

Hurry now!

If you want to let people know what you want to say, first confuse them.

And now my personal addition..

I took this pic in Dhaka, Bangladesh. If Rong Tuli is a quality fashion wear, I wonder what a Right Tuli would be. Hmmm... (For non-Filipino readers, Tuli means circumcision)
