Octopus?!? Japanese Humor (862)
Jan 12th 2010 15:11
How are you doing? I'm fine and I'm writing this journal in my college library now.
Today, I'd like to introduce our unique goods again. I guess I've already written this kind of entries for about 10 times.
Do you know our unique goods named "okuto-pass 置くとパス” which is pretty popular among students who are going to try entrance examinations for high schools, colleges and universities.
"Okuto-pass" came from English word "octopus" and it has a good meaning in it in Japanese. Okuto（置くと＜おくと＞）if you put this goods somewhere on your desk, Pasu（パス） you will be able to pass the examinations.
This is a kind of Japanese pun. Isn't it very funny?
By the way, one of my friends on Lang-8, who is from Yamaguchi Pref. has passed her exam for the university and she always put this "Okuto-pass" on her desk. I'm sure the power of octopus gave her a nice success to the exam. haha She said that it had a super power!
If you'd like to pass to your aims, I suggest you should buy this unique goods. (picture1,2 and 3)
