[sumo] Sakari causes international Incident??

[Moti <sumo@dichne.com>]

 Anyone who lives/lived in Japan for more than 4 minutes knows the most 
dreaded compound word for any Japanese:"Kokusai mondai" Oooooooh.... 
International Incident. Sakari was in one of the many stores that sell 
old armory and stuff at the Yuyuan Gardens. He was fooling around with a 
piece, wielding it and saying things like "Oooh, I want this kind of 
weapon. I'd love to wield it!!" He started lifting one of the 
"Nagahoko"s (see picture), when the handle came off in his hand. After a 
few deafeningly silent seconds, he was seen fleeing the scene, amid 
murmurs of "It' OK, no problem!", from the shopkeeper. From a safe 
distance , the Marathon Man turned towards the store and mumbled" Is it 
safe? Is it safe???"

Sakari and Nagahoko before the incident:

Tamanoshima was offered a fake real designer watch at a high price by 
one of the "merchants". "Does he think that the fact that I'm fat makes 
me rich as well??", he wondered. Hokutouriki watched a show where 4 
motorbikes whirl around in a sphere-real acrobatic stuff (known in 
Israel as "Kirrrrr Hamavet" in the past..) and was astounded at the 
dexterity of the riders. "If one guy loses his timing, that would be 
real bad. Just like Sumo!", he observed.
