The Yoshikawa Curse: “We all end up marrying a divorcee.”

The Players:
N.K. ..... Oldest Daughter (19).
E.K. .... Middle Daughter (18?).
WP .... Wife (Confidential).
ME .... Me (I'm not tellin').
  • Wife Person (WP): N.K’s boyfriend is a divorcee. The Yoshikawa curse strikes again!
  • ME: *Thinks* Oh, yeah.
  • WP: WEll, except for my brother: In his case he is the divorcee.
  • ME: Uh, huh. *Waits*
  • WP: I know why.
  • ME: Really?
  • WP: Yeah. Because no one in our family is a part of Soka Gakkai.
  • ME: ….
  • WP: Soka Gakkai says we, people, are doomed to repeat our mistakes, unless we do that chanting thing. I didn’t chant and ended up married to you.
  • ME: *That sorta hurt, but who am I to argue with the truth* True.
  • WP: So, I told E.K. to start chanting so she can break the curse for her future kids.
  • ME: LOL! I see.
  • NARRATOR: Our hero runs that last statement around in his mind, “E.K. can break the Yoshikawa curse. Yoshikawa curse….Yoshikawa…
  • ME: *Kisses wife on top of head* She _is_ your daughter.
  • WP: Huh?
  • ME: Think about it.
  • WP/E.K.’s Step-mother: OH! OH!
  • ME: I love you.

A Checklist.

Is Linux the OS for you? Answer the following questions to find out:

  1. The thought of downloading my OS from a web page gets my juices flowing.
  2. Cryptic text streaming past my eyes on startup excites me.
  3. I know what one of the following means:
    • apt-get
    • rpm
  4. I like my icons big and ugly.
  5. Selecting the correct device driver from a long list gets me hot and bothered.
  6. Waiting for language kits to download is what computing is all about!
  7. I believe that free == better quality.
  8. I prefer KDE over Gnome.
  9. I prefer Gnome over KDE.
  10. I know what Gnome and KDE are.

If you answered yes to any of the above, then Linux is for you. Don’t hate me.
