A Scotsman visiting Tokyo, entered a shop hoping that it
would be air conditioned so he could escape the sweletering
heat. It was not. Complaining, he asked the shop owner
"'Tis so hot herrrre, how do ye keep yersel's cool?" The
shop owner replied "Ah so, you should buy nice fan to coo'
yourse'f, see, I have big serrection of fan" pointing to a
large wall display of different sizes brightly colored
Japanese fans. "How much for the lairrgest one therrre?"
asked the Scot. "Oh, that very fine fan, onry 10 dorrar.
Keep you very coo'" replied the shopkeeper. The cost
concious Scot the asked "Wellll, what aboot the smallerrr one
next to it?" A'so, very fine fan, onry 8 dorrar" said the
Japanese. "Hmmm, and the next one?" aked the Scot. "Not
quite as good but it too keep you coo', onry 5 dorrar" said
the shopkeeper. "Wellll then, what aboot that smallest one
on the end therrrre? asked the Scot. "Oh", replied the
shopkeeper with some sales disappointment "that one onry 50
cent." "I'll take it!" announced the Scot, paid and left the
shop with his purchase, fanning himself on his way out. Five
minutes later, he returns, flinging a handful of paper and
wood down on the counter and shouting at the shopkeeper " I
want a rrrrefund!" Staring at the remnants of the fan the
shopkeeper says "Oh, you mus' fan yourse'f too hard! Break
fan." "I just fanned normally" argues the Scot. "Show me
how you fan yourse'f" demands the shopkeeper. "Just like
this", says the Scot with a not too vigerous flapping of
his wrist in a fanning motion. "Oh," says the Japanese, "for
50 cent you no fan rike this" (mimiking the Scot's fanning
motion) "you fan rike this!" as he holds his hand stationary
in front of his face and vigerously shakes his head from side
to side.
