- So there's this salesman for Kawasaki motorbikes who's doing rather well. He
- sells a lot of motorbikes and his boss comes up to him and tells him that he's
- won the Kawasaki Salesman of the Year Award. He's going to be presented with
- the award at the company dinner and will of course have to give a speech.
-
- The salesman is chuffed of course and that night on the way home he starts to
- think about what he's going to say in his speech, which is the following
- Wednesday. Suddenly he feels a trouser explosion coming on and lets it rip:
- HONDA! it goes. Bloody hell he thinks I hope *that* doesn't happen during the
- speech. A few minutes later it happens again: HONDA! In fact all that night and
- into the next day he still has this wind which comes out making a noise like
- HONDA! He is worried by then and decides to buy some pills. The pills give a
- short respite but the following day it's back with a vengeance: HONDA! HONDA!
-
- He takes the day off work and goes to the doctor. He demonstrates his ailment
- to the doctor who's never heard anything like it before and can only refer the
- salesman to an specialist (etc this can be dragged on depending on how much the
- listener already finds it funny). Anyway the specialist gives him electric shock
- treatment or something but next day: HONDA! HONDA! HONDA! The salesman goes
- back to the specialist in despair. The specialist says, look, I know of a
- Chinese soothsayer who can sometimes work miracles. Here's his address.
-
- So the salesman goes to see the Chinese soothsayer and describes his ailment.
- The Chinese soothsayer smiles knowingly and says "Ah! You have Abcess. In Tooth.
- Go to Dentist". The salesman thinks he's mad but is willing to try anything and
- goes to the dentist. Remarkably the dentist DOES find an abcess in one of the
- salesman's teeth. He drills and fills it. Suddenly the salesman feels the
- pressure subside and realises he's cured. That evening he gives his speech and
- it all goes well.
-
- The next day, out of curiosity, he goes back to the Chinese soothsayer and says,
- hey, look you were right. But how did you know? The Chinese soothsayer smiles
- knowingly and says "Aha! Ancient Chinese ploverb! "Abcess makes the fart go
- Honda".
