Finally, someone has discovered the elusive connection between the trials of daily living, and being a Samurai. An exercise class in Virginia teaches participants the tools and postures used by the Samurai warriors you probably learned about like we did, via G.I. Joe characters. And exercise is great and all, but, come on, what other practical applications could being a Samurai have in today’s world?
- They’re our only real hope of fighting off waves of invading pirates.
- Samurais needed to put uppity ninjas in their place.
- Samurai sword perfect for those frequent moments when someone asks, “Is that a Samurai sword in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?”
- Samurai have many practical applications in today’s society, such as hotel clerk, delicatessen owner, general practitioner, tailor, and dry cleaner, as we learned in a series of documentary shorts featuring John Belushi .
- They give the term “budget cuts” a whole new meaning.
- You’d immediately fit in as an extra if a spontaneous “Highlander” movie began filming on your street.
- Speeds up field dressing a moose (Sarah Palin only).
- Better skill set to have when society regresses to hunter-gatherer status after full impact of financial crisis unravels.
