Snot from the nose of the Great Buddha

The packaging reads--yes, it's true--"Snot From the Nose of the Great Buddha" -- and the accompanying illustration shows a stylized Buddha with his finger up his nose, reports London's Daily Telegraph. Nevertheless, tourists visiting the giant Buddha statue in the town of Nara in western Japan are gobbling it up. For anyone who enjoys this kind of humor, I (being of rather perverse humor myself) can can be of some service: permit me to direct you to the funniest Japlish humor site in the universe: Engrish.com. Browse the site for a few minutes, and I guarantee you will land on your ass in hysterical convulsions.
