"Cow Sends Japanese Crew to Jail"
(UP) - Early in 1997, the dazed crew of a Japanese
Trawler was plucked out of the Sea of Japan clinging
to the wreckage of their sunken ship. Their rescue,
however, was followed by immediate imprisonment
once authorities questioned the sailors on their ship's
loss. To a man they claimed that a cow, falling out of
a clear blue sky, had struck the trawler amidships,
shattering its hull and sinking the vessel within minutes.
They remained in prison for several weeks, until the
Russian Air Force reluctantly informed Japanese
authorities that the crew of one of its cargo planes
had apparently stolen a cow wandering at the edge
of a Siberian airfield, forced the cow into the plane's
hold and hastily taken off for home.
Unprepared for live cargo, the Russian crew was
ill-equipped to manage a now rampaging cow within
its hold. To save the aircraft and themselves, they
shoved the animal out of the cargo hold as they
crossed the Sea of Japan at an altitude of 30,000 feet.

"Pizza in Japan"
An American businessman goes to Japan on
a business trip, but he hates Japanese food,
so he asks the concierge at his hotel if there's
any place to get American food. The concierge
tells him he's in luck, there's a pizza place that
just opened, and they deliver. The concierge
gives the businessman the phone number, and
he goes back to his room and orders a pizza.
Thirty minutes later, the delivery guy shows up
to the door with the pizza. The businessman
takes the pizza, and starts sneezing uncontrollably.
He asks the deliveryman, "What the heck did you
put on this pizza?"
The deliveryman bows deeply and says, "We
put on the pizza what you ordered: 'pepper only'."
