From USTAI 4,
A drum roll if you please Anton.....
Tonight's Top Ten list is brought to you from our home office in Sioux City, Idaho...
"the top ten reasons why martial artist can't keep real jobs..."
#10 - You are constantly harassing your fellow employees by saying, "come on, see if you can hit me," and "here hold this just over your head and look away while i show them something."
#9 - The rising cost of window repairs due to shoplifters being hurled through while you were HELPING security.
#8 - Constantly bothering armored car security guards by trying to make them draw their guns so you can try your latest weapon disarming technique.
#7 - Number of rising lawsuits from customers that had heart attack while being scared to death from employees using "ninja stealth" techniques to get right behind them before loudly saying "excuse me, can i help you!"
#6 - Other employees find it hard to enjoy their lunch break while in the employee lounge, because you spend your break practicing your katas and sparring with friends from class.
#5 - Martial artist just can't seem to understand that when you are told to go on break, that DOESN'T mean you have to break anything!
#4 - You refuse to call your boss "sir", instead you refer to him as "sensei".
#3 - You keep tearing your work clothes by showing everyone how you can do a full split.
#2 - Customers don't like the way you BOW to them after every sale.
... and the number one reason why Martial Artist can't keep a real job is...
#1 - They keep threatening to commit hari-kari if they don't get a raise.
