I hear now retired nobama (aka The Greatest Fraud Ever) is now on a fixed income. In order to earn a little extra income, he is giving private lessons on how to bow (in light of his 8-years experience of doing so).

I got the feeling that these young men were just trying to create some humor out of a lousy situation.
