Motivational Toilet Paper

Jinglish — Posted by firefly @ 16:38

Sometimes, I can be having a bad day in Toko. I have assorted sources of stress that sometimes band together, and take turns beating me across the head with 2x4's. At these stressful times, I can be walking around Tokyo, or using a product, or buying a drink.

I then look down, and read the English inscribed on the item, which is often motivational such as :

"Today maybe the bad, but soon coming is for double you happy so be smile !!"

Tokyo continues to move and bustle around me, but I never fail to stop for a moment, and take in this disjointed message. Somehow, my stress floats away, and it feels as though this message is directed especially towards me. Like some Japanese guy with a dictionary in an office building somewhere knows my situation, and has spent 4 difficult, painstaking hours putting together this message just for me.

Whoever you are, Japanese guy, thank you.
