| The Samurai are known for been one of the | | | | non-concerned, with samurai around, his mind |
| most respected and respectable class of | | | | as sharp and stealed as his katana, and ready |
| citizens of ancient Japan. Such status had | | | | to use it? |
| the samurai they could do things such as | | | | |
| dismember people who offended them without | | | | Well, I suppose that depends how drunk the |
| having to answer for themselves. This was the | | | | samurai was. Yes, not even the everyman of |
| power the samurai wielded, a power unheard of | | | | every culture's favourite hobby of drinking |
| almost today in any so called civilised | | | | was forbidden to the samurai. Infact, they |
| society. One may even argue that if such | | | | used to have quite a good knees up on their |
| people as the samurai were to walk among us | | | | favourite tipple of alcohol laced Sake. |
| today, society may well be a much more | | | | |
| respectful place to live out of fear of | | | | Whilst a samurai, in the company of other |
| losing limbs at least! | | | | samurai may of been forgiving of and forgiven |
| | | | for intoxicated behaviour, a drunken samurai |
| Indeed, it would be hard to imagine the many | | | | may well of been a far more dangerous and |
| undesirable acts of today co-existing with | | | | volatile person than any of the yobs of today |
| the presence of samurai without an abundance | | | | whilst drunk. So, we may rest at ease perhaps |
| of heads but no bodies. For example, could | | | | we are been chased by a drunken idiot with |
| you possibly imagine the today's danger of | | | | intentions of beating us up, rather than a |
| drunken behaviour, this terror pervading our | | | | drunken and incoherent samurai with a legal |
| streets, offending all, concerned or | | | | right to cut our heads off! |
