Dear Prime Minister Wonderful,

	Why is it considered an “Art” if it is something that the Japanese do?

Dear Hideous Negativity,


	I'm just going to come out with it.  I have no idea what your query
means.  Have you been smoking the Nuku-Nuku again?  Have I?

	Here, dig...  Are you asking why anything done by the citizens of Japan
is automatically considered cool and hip and groovy and artsy by the
hamburger-laden denizens of the United States?  Or are you asking why
every craft from Japan is called, like, "Origami: the Japanese Art of
Paper-folding," as opposed to "Origami: Mostly Swans"?

	Not that it matters.  You know what I like about the Japanese?  

	They're not bombing anyone at the moment.

	Aside and apart from that, they dig me.  They get it.  Seriously.  I
get *mad* fan letters from Japan.  All the time.  With money in them. 
And panties.  Tiny glow-in-the-dark thongs that say "Great Coke, Make My
Diesel!" when you press the right spot.

	Actually, I did once get a postcard from my friend Josh (Hi Josh!) who
lives in Japan as the houseboy for the girls from Shonen Knife.  It was
back when I was randomly blipping the Labs around the country as an
experiment in stochastic mass-related time-space displacement (due to
yet another bet with Soupy Sales), so I never, y'know, saw the postcard,
but this crazy lady who owns the house where Wonderful Labs *once was*,
she told me I had to come pick it up, along with the
demonically-posessed books and Mister Dark's Drum and Bugle Cockroaches
we'd left behind.

	Anyway.  Point is.  In Japan, no one can hear you make money.  It's
considered impolite, so they've got these amazing devices you wear in
your eyeglasses and when you touch them they discreetly make the sound
of buckets of cash falling all around.  If nobody knows how much, if
any, cash a particular endeavor garners, then everything must be Art.

Up all night with a Sarcastic Fringehead?  Maybe you should take along a friend...
