Reading this article was like discovering a new rare Pokémon except it’s weird and not so cute 😂 more of these articles please

That’s a lovely way to put it. I wonder if there are any Pokémon with tattoos?

They "found a new growth sector." And "that's the hard truth". Lol!

In other news, a patient of mine is traveling to and from Japan for work right now and I sent him your previous article on overly friendly strangers looking to be your night club "tour guide". He's a young, good-looking male working in tech sales, probably the perfect mark. He says he's already pretty wary, but I think the article does a great job informing us of just what, exactly, is at stake.

This article demanded maximum punniness. Sean, thank you for sending the article to your friend. We don’t want to feed the beast more than we’d have to. I’m hoping at some point to Tokyo police actually do something about these guys because they seem to be doing a booming business.

“In another world, they’d be giving TED Talks about “disrupting legacy pharmaceutical supply chains” and “innovating in the male wellness space.” You should be lecturing in Intl Business/MBA programs. This, the Tepco stuff is a “Business in Japan” master class!

Thank you! Everything I ever needed to know in business, I learned from the yakuza. Clearly a best seller!
