Myself and some of my brilliant students were wasting time last Friday after school, when we began a serious intellectual discussion about Ninja etiquette. Those of us who know Ninjas (human, not automotive) can attest to the following rule: Ninjas do not say certain things.
Here are a few of those things:
1. Ow, I cut myself!
2. Whaaaassszzzzzzupppp!
3. Yo, hold up, Fireshadow. I gotta take a leak.
4. Do I look fat in this thong?
5. I want my baby back baby back bay bay bay baybee I want my baby back…
6. Hold me.
7. Rollin on da low mack wit my homiez…
8. Dude, throw one of those 5-point thingees.
9. Now that you’re tied up and secure, I’d like to tell you about Jesus.
10. Jiggle the handle.
What else do Ninjas not say?

“Watashi wa KAWAII!”
Japanese, meaning “I’m So CUTE!”
Also, “Let me tell you my secret plan before I kill you.”

I dunno…I’ve seen some anime ninja that I wouldn’t put it past. 🙂
And ‘Kawaiiiiiiiiii!’ could be a pretty good battle-cry…would certainly confuse the enemy. 🙂
Anyway, to continue on the OP’s thread:

19. We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
20. Ninja. N-I-N-J-A. Ninja.
21. Clap, clap, clap-clap-clap, clap-clap-clap-clap, GO NINJA!

- Wait, before I kill you… do you think peace in our time is possible? I do, and I can tell you how…

What’s Up, Tiger Lily? Or maybe that was egg salad–if not, that’s an abnormal number of ninja movies with salads.
