Yep. True story. Ran into one of the shy ones inside Ueno Station once. He was offering cards.

I said "Omae no urikata wa heta ne. Ko yu funi yarimasi (and in a loud voice) "henzo telakado irrashimase!" I think you know the translation, but he took off running like a frightened mouse . . . a good laugh for the day. When I got back to the office from a sales call, all my Japanese colleagues had a second laugh.

Haha! Good one. I used to tell the African mafia lackeys in Kabukicho, “Oh, you want me to come to your club, eh? Only if your sister is working tonight.” or simply just, “I know where I’m going, so f*** off!”.
