The only thing missing is you!

Never let it be said that I let an easy joke get away.


Okay, ignore what I said in the title of this entry. What letter is missing from this sign?

If you said “u” then you’re my kind of person.

If you said “o” then you’re probably a gambler and would fit right in at this place. It’s a pachinko parlor. One of tens of thousands found all over Japan. Now, I haven’t been here long enough to give a proper commentary on pachinko, but rest assured, it’ll get one eventually. I’ve seen people lined up outside these places waiting to get in when they open.

Just to gamble the day away.

As somebody who doesn’t gamble (and only bets on things I know the outcome of – hence, not a gamble), I don’t quite get the attraction. There must be something to it, though, since people dump tons of money into the machines all day long, from open to close.But since I can’t answer any of that yet, I’ll have to settle for the cheap joke for now.
