Score one for Apple Wired News Report 10:30 am 20 Sep 99

Umbrella Condom
To avoid wet umbrellas dribbling over the floor and sales goods, shops in Japan have always provided plastic sheaths for umbrellas at the entrance. So far it has been notoriously difficult to pull these over your umbrellas, but help is now at hand with this foot operated umbrella 'sheather'. Good for walking sticks too!

I wonder if ... um ... gymnasic intercourse would trigger the Quake Bed.

Oh, well. I guess it'd let us menfolk know if she's lying when she says she "felt the Earth move."

[Atlas Sneezed]

In the Pacific Northwest, umbrella condoms can be found in nicer stores like Nordstrom.

Bizarre product BUMP

[jwfiv]

Ichiban bump.

[sanchmo]

[AmericanInTokyo]

Ah yes. Never a dull moment.

My favorite had to have been the high school kid in Kyoto some years back with a T shirt that just said, "ALABAMA: TO BE FAGGOT". He hadn't a clue what it meant (neither did I).

The girl on the Yamanote train line with a "Shit" backpack was curious, too.....

[Billthedrill]

Not just t-shirts - I vividly recall attending the visiting American Ballet Theater in Meiji Jingu in Tokyo...very, very expensively dressed lady in front of me, with a bolero hat and a sequined jacket that spelled out, in all its glory "Who the F*ck Needs Art?"

I cannot imagine what she paid for it, but you know Tokyo prices...
