Tezuka, allow me to be the first to wish you many happy returns of the day. When would be a suitable time to deliver my gift? Or is it your intention to be at your desk for the entire day?
On the subject of gifts, I did not receive birthday greetings from you, boy. I anticipate your hasty correction of this oversight.
Kabaji, I thank you for your report on the Osaka pachinko parlour. The panda you acquired is ... quite unique. You do realise it is more traditional to exchange such prizes for money?
Greedy under-hand individuals though the bosses might be, it does appear that the assets from TOC96780 simply passed through the parlour's hands as a straight forward transaction for purchasing pachinko machines. The money from the sale seems to have then been deposited in an account belonging to a dry cleaning company in Nara. How is this possible? Are all the garments on Honshu being cared for?
Screened
I have decided to attend the photography exhibition on Friday. I will keep you both informed.
