日本人が優秀（俺を除く）なのは世界の常識。そんな必死にアピー­ルせんでもいいよ、どこかのキチガイ国家みたいに。

【自ら卑うすれば尚し】…自分からへりくだって誇らない人は、他­人からも尊敬され信頼されて、自然に品格が備わってくるというこ­と。

大人になっても、自分を誇示するような人間だと、逆に見下されま­すよ！

どこかのキチガイ国家じゃあるまいし。発音ヤバイって！

So I went to the airport and asked for the cheapest ticket to japan. The chick at the counter said office depot was right around the corner.

If they got all these pencils, they must be part of japan!
