At the Board of Education yesterday I had some free time. Telling the boss of an upcoming party I asked him where I could buy a wig. He recommended a store and then left. Five minutes later he returned with a box of wigs. Himself and the other serious looking, dark suit wearing, bespectacled employees were soon all donned in wigs. Later on the head of the city library service arrived to introduce new employees in the usual formal Japanese manner. My boss pointed at me and said to them 'crazy foreigner'. Then pointed to the box of wigs and told these people I'd been dressing up all afternoon. Not even blinking an eyelid, the library director lifted the silliest wig, put it on his head, and said 'fireman'.
