School Rules
Oct. 17th, 2007 11:16 amOkay, so I decided I had to post this.
Yes, it's real, in that it's an actual page from my Cultural Studies workbook. Every time I pass by it it cracks me the hell up, so I decided to scan the page and upload it here. I present to you:
The Strange Foreigner

Naturally, I applied myself to figuring out the answer to the question: namely, what rules is he breaking? Here's what I've come up with so far. Feel free to contribute your own.
1) Bad beer may not be brought to a Japanese school. Students must bring sake, or at the very least Kirin.
2) Student has clearly not brought enough cigarettes to share.
3) Words on the tattoo are misspelled. This creates an un-academic atmosphere.
4) Student does not have a school sticker on his Harley.
5) Pets should on no account be leashed to a moving vehicle. I mean, really now.
6) The knife the student is carrying is .5 inches over the regulated 6 inch length.
7) Skull and crossbones are not appropriate decorations for innerwear. Student should switch to Hello Kitties, if possible, or at the very least to hearts.
8) Student is out of uniform. Student is showing too much leg for the male uniform, but not enough for the female uniform.
9) Student is clearly smiling and talking. At a strict Japanese high school, neither of these are permissible.
10) The foreign student's hair is acceptable, but the girls in the back have clearly been using curling irons on their hair, which is forbidden. They must shave immediately.
Any other ideas?
