Be glad they didn't land at Crystal Osaka:
"Again?"
"Two buses full of fundies this time."
"And?"
"The usual - routed them to the tourist docks, let them sit in their buses for four hours while they tried to work up the courage to come out and attack, then sent Hiroko out with the box-lunch cart with everything marked up 300%. This bunch hadn't packed any food at all, so we sold out in ten minutes."
"I suppose the fact that Hiroko's photoshoot was published in Playboy last month has nothing to do with why you sent her out, right?"
"It has everything to do with why we sent her out! And we made sure she was wearing her skimpiest bikini, too!"
"Right. Silly me. There was nothing funny in the food, right?"
"Of course not! Mess with a customer once, and you lose the customer! But we did include a free 1-liter bottle of water with each lunch."
"Uh-huh. How much did you charge for access to the washrooms?"
"Oh, just 500% of the normal rate."
"I'm beginning to understand why they had to sell you one of their buses before they could go home..."
