The most awesome question ever
was posed to me tonight at dinner. It was the goodbye "enkai" (work-related party) for the JETS that are leaving. I thought this meant that I was exempt from going, but ten minutes after Mike left, he burst back in, saying that they wanted me to come also. One of the teachers drove me over there! Five star treatment!
Okay, the set-up. Somehow, we got on the topic of how Mike looks like "Ha-ree Po-tta," which is more or less true, as those of you who know Mike can attest to. One of the more playful (drunk?) Japanese women there was running a simultaneous commentary on whether the "hips" (read: butts) of Japanese and American men go "up" or "down." Yes, you understand correctly, she was sharing her thoughts in half-English about the ultimate international diplomatic issue: the relative tightness of men's butts.
The question then posed to me:
"Sarah-san, how are Ha-ree Po-tta's bottoms?"
A question for the ages.
