Have a Japanese friend who remarked his father faithfully read the obituary section every morning at breakfast. As a youngster he decided his father was infatuated with morbidity and had a very strained relationship with him. It wasn't until he was older that he learned his father was a golf membership broker. Since no new golf courses were being built in Japan, memberships had to be recycled, and his father was simply trying to stay ahead in a competitive business.

Way OT. I was being entertained by a Japanese supplier. The idea of a golf excursion came up and it was suggested the 8 of us fly to Hawaii and spend the night as it would be cheaper than paying greens fees etc to play in Japan. Shocking.......
