quoted from another source
I have a City Guide book for my hometown in Japan. The local City Hall produced it, and it is a really great effort in helping English speakers to feel at home here (thanks). There are a couple of amusing suggestions in the book; DISASTERS ~ 2) Prevention of fire *DO NOT TOSS A CIGARETTE AND SMOKE IN BED. (OK, I'll find something else to toss, and I promise to smoke like a chimney. *USUALLY KNOW HOW TO USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. (I promise I will only forget sometimes) ......... Japan is often troubled by earthquakes (local pronunciation is ASSQUAKES - cracks me up every time) so there is a local organisation to take care of these. The sign on the front of the building reads; EARTHQUAKE COMMUNITY DISASTER CITIZEN PREVENTION CENTER I want to go in and find out more, but I am afraid of being labelled a 'Disaster Citizen' and added to the list of those who are to be prevented. ........... I recently asked someone their hobby. "Taking care of the earth" was the answer, but due to local pronunciation I heard "taking care of the ass_". What a hobby!! |

The laundry room in rome is true, but it got destroyed by the eruption many years ago. I heard it from an educational channel that it used to be hostels for anyone to have fun with random strangers.
