I was at the local sushi/rice bowl place for lunch today with a friend. When I placed my order the lady who does the sushi walked to the back and took the big samurai sword off the wall and walked back to where we are. As she’s unsheathing the katana I’m wondering if I’ve seen this before in a John Belushi sketch. Is she going to use it to make me a tuna roll or to behead me for being so insolent as to ask for yakasuba? She carefully holds the long sword in a two handed grip and… adkusts the thermostat mounted on the wall.
Me: A lunch special for my friend, a teriaki chicken bowl, a tuna roll and two cokes.
Samurai Sushi Chef: Yamamoto suzuki wasabi kyoto
Me: uh, no sesame seeds on that please
SSC: Ah, mitsubishi seppuku gojira san
Me: Oh, one more thing… can you split the check?
SSC: <pauses, looks toward camera, raises eyebrow suggestively> AYAAAAAA!!!
