Hanamichi Report

["Jeffrey Anderson" <jeffand@regent.edu>]

Ross Mihara: Here's Riyo Ota with a hanamichi report.  This one's with
Gaijingai.

Riyo: Gaijingai, mixed results this basho.  Some good, some bad.

Gaijingai: Hai, so desu.

Riyo: What happened?

Gaijingai: I got very upset just before the basho and it bothered me the
rest of the 15 days.

Riyo: So desuka?  Tell us about it.

Gaijingai:  Well, myself and a couple other rikishi were relaxing at the
heya right after coming out of the ofuro when a photographer burst in and
snapped our picture buck naked!

Riyo: The photographer was naked?

Gaijingai: No, dummy - us rikishi!  Then he had the gall to broadcast the
picture all over the Internet!

Riyo: Oh Gaijingai, you're such a jokester!  Why, everyone knows that you
three really had your mawashis on and that a computer geek edited them off
and edited on some - er - reproductive organs. Nobody really believes this
was you guys naked.

Gaijingai:  What's makes you so sure?

Riyo:  Because (blush) everyone knows that Japanese aren't circumcised!

Gaijingai:  But Riyo, I was standing there with Hoshitango and Kintamayaya!

Riyo:  EEEEK!  Back to you, Ross!

Best regards,
Jeffrey Anderson
