“I’m just worried that I won’t be able to sleep at night when I think about the millions of turkeys that will need to die to make this dream a reality.”

“Don’t follow my mother-in-law’s bad example. And don’t listen to me if you enjoy offending people. If you don’t enjoy offending people, a less rude word for “you” is あなた (anata), where the middle character is な (na) instead of ん (n). But you hardly ever need to be saying that, either. Call people by their names in Japanese whenever possible.”

“Speaking of “the king of the jungle”, you might enjoy pompously telling people that lions are rarely found in jungles — they prefer savannah — so this phrase is stupid. Saying something like this is not art, my friends. You have to wait until someone else says it, and then say, “The word ‘jungle’ derives from Hindi, in which it describes a place that is ‘not inhabited by humans’. So the phrase is still quite accurate. Hmm. Yes. Indeed.”
