New Years Eve in Leamington

We went to a fancy dress party in Leamington Spa – the theme was dress as someone else in the room.

My mate rob and I only new the hostess, and each other, and we both had kimono’s so we decided to go as each other, as Japanese guys. We were the 2 biggest guys in the room, so we weren’t exactly low profile.

Typically the conversation went like this:

them: “Who did you come as?”
me: “Isnt it obvious? How many Japanese guys are in the room?”
them: “oh…. Yeah but he isn’t Japanese!”
me: “yes he is… go ask him!”
them: “ok” wanders off to Rob “Who did you come as?”
rob: “the other Japanese guy here! ” points at me.
Them: “but he said you were Japanese.”
Rob: “arigato-gasaimas.” He also reeled off some other words (I found out later they meant left right, forward, KFC and McDonalds!)
Them: “cool!” wanders back to me.
Me: “see I told you so”
Them: “but your not Japanese, so he cant dress as you”
Me: “ahhhhh, but he is here as a Japanese man, and I am here as him. He is therefore dressed as someone else in the room….. me!”
Them: “uh…???”
Me: Rolls around on the floor laughing at the drunk guy trying to make sense of the logic I just threw at him.
