Hoshimoto

[Boon Mee]

An American business man takes a short business trip to Japan. He arrives on a Sunday night, with meetings on that Tuesday. Since he is in a foreign land, and is bored with nothing to do, he calls up a prostitute service. A Japanese woman arrives at the door with in the hour, and the two proceed to have sex with eachother. The woman is on top, and the entire time all she says is “hoshimoto.” The man doesn’t know what to think, since he doesn’t understand what she’s saying, but the woman appears to be having a good time, so they continue. After the climax, the man pays the woman and she leaves.

The next day, the American decides to play golf with some of the Japanese people he will be meeting with the next day. The round is relatively standard except for the 18th hole. When it is the American man’s turn to drive, he hits a hole in one. All the Japanese people start yelling in celebration, and the American doesn’t know what to say, so he says the first Japanese word that pops into his head, “hoshimoto.” One of the Japanese business men looks at him, and in a thick accent says: “What do you mean, ‘wrong hole’?”
