Ok, I admit. Japanese comedy shows. I have recently discovered the hilarity of japanese comedy-- my 7 year old son and I were up too late for his usual bedtime because we could not stop laughing to the point of tears and belly aches over some silly You Tube videos of Japanese-style jokes. Like unsuspecting passersby of port-a-potty demise-- they get in, lock the door, and the 10-second countdown sets off the sudden "elevator" potty-- up up up... and there they are-- in full view! But the funniest one takes place at a Japanese sento (bathhouse) at some ski resort-- the massage chairs flip naked people out into the snow-- my favorite: when the massage chair turns into a wacky snow ski rocket, wildly speeding off into the snow! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi6pWITEvxk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq_tPCUx9ds
