Stupid Japanese puns.

A hanglider is planning to fly off a cliff. What time should he leave?
Ichi ji han gurai da.
(Say the above quickly. Translation: About 1:30.)

With a rice cracker (senbei) in hand: Ichi mai, demo senbei desu.
“Ichi mai” means “one thing,” “sen” is “1,000.” Translation: One thing, but it’s a senbei. Doesn’t make much sense outside Japan, I guess. Posted by kuri at February 08, 2001 07:29 AM
