What would you do, If you got BSE infection?

Five high school students were arrested for skipping out on a YAKINIKU restaurant bill in Osaka Japan on 15th March. When the students had to pay the bill, they invented a pretext that "We got BSE infection because we ate your beef!".
The restaurant manager fought back saying "You can`t become sick so quickly!". But the high school students marched in the restaurant mimicking cow, and bellowed "Moo-Moo!".
The manager telephoned the police immediately and the students were all arrested. At the police office they said "We thought we wouldn`t have to pay the bill, if we said we were infected by BSE. But we don`t know what sort of disease the BSE is".

My mum`s story

My mum is a person who sometimes acts ~~strangely~~ mysteriously.

I moved out from my parent`s house when I entered the University.
And every summer and winter holidays I visited my parents.
First sign of my mum`s enigmatic act I realized was...

When I visited mum on my first year`s summer holiday,
mum was wearing a wristband with spheres carved out from wood and it looked quite nice.

I said,
"Hey mum, that bracelet is cool. Where did you buy it?"

She said,
"I found this from my old stuff box and if you asked me why I am wearing this, the day before yesterday I set fire to my oven and I forgot it. It was really dangerous, daddy told me off strictly, so I decided to put this bracelet on my hand while I use my oven so that I never forget the fire."

"... Cool mum."

Things couldn`t have been worse...

Next winter holiday, there was a walnut crusher doll on the living room table.
The doll was a souvenir when my dad went to Germany on business trip.
And a walnut was crammed in the doll`s opening mouth. It was bit odd.

I asked mum,
"Hey mum, what on earth is that dolls on the table? Isn`t it messy eh?"

Mum said,
"Takeshi, I told you last time I forgot the fire of my oven, and I forgot it again. I needed to improve my reminder. If you found the doll with a walnut, would you remind me that I am using the fire on my oven?"

"... Okay mum."

Had I thought the things couldn`t have been worse? I was wrong.

Next summer holiday, there was no sign of the walnut crusher on the table.
Instead of it, my mum appeared wearing a flying helmet which I bought when I was in the high school.

This time I could guess why mum wore the helmet but I asked mum unwillingly.

"Hey mum... why?"

"Takeshi, you know me forget things. I forgot the fire again. I`ve improved my reminder. The most annoying thing is the best I thought. If you found me wearing this helmet, would you think me using the fire?"

"... That`s really smart mum."

Next winter I visited my parent`s house. My mum wasn`t at home.

My dad said,
"I think mum went to the next door house to give them some fruit."

And when mum got back home...,

She was wearing the helmet.

She had completely got use to it.

The Ultimate Comfort

For your information,

Japanese toilets are the most "advanced" in the world.

Im really proud of them.

When I was sitting on my "Washlet",

I thought

"Hmm Comfortable... warm and really hygienic... but I can`t be satisfied yet.

Somewhere, there would be the ultimate comfortable toilet.

I have to go on a research."

Ta-dah! I found this the most "advanced" toilet, The SATIS

Here, SATIS`s wonderful functions.

*Full automatic toilet seat and lid
SATIS has a human sensor so that we don`t have to bend our body any more to open the lid. really hygienic and comfortable.

*Modest light
Even if nature called you at the darkest night, you would be happy because the Modest light will illuminate softly around your foot and the target so that we can go on our dream after the mission.

*Turbo odor killer(TOK) plus Doubled Power Odor Killer(DPOK)
During the mission TOK works automatically. And there is a DPOK button on the RC. Just in case.

*Full automatic flushing system
We don`t have to flush ourselves. The motion of flushing might harm your back or spine. SATIS will flush instead of you, and he can detect number 1 or 2 from the duration of the mission.

*"Relax Music" (MP3 player with SD card and Stereo speakers)
Absolutory! Music is necessary whenever in our life, I almost forgot that.

These are options we can choose for the BGM.
1.Liebestraum No.3 in A flat major S.541-3 (F.Liszt)
2.AIR ON G-STRING (Johann Sebastian Bach)
3.NOCTURNE No.2 in E flat major Op.9-2 (F.Chopin)
4.Fruhlingslied (F. Mendelssohn)
5.Chirping of birds
6.Koto(a Japanese instrument) and Shishiodoshi(kind of zen)
7.Chirping of insects (my recommendation)
8.Bubbling stream sounds
