An elderly gentleman in a food stall called the cook over. He said "I hate to complain, but there's something wrong with the Chirashi." The cook leaned forward and paused, looking, but everything seemed to be in place. - Rice: check. - Fresh salmon: check. - Bamboo fountain with unassuming toad guardian: check. - Sultry twin-tailed Tamago Musume with open kimono and carp tattoo: check. - Ebi Musume standing by on wasabi duty: check. He said "Sir, I don't get it--what's wrong?" "I... maybe you should taste it. You'll see what I mean." "Couldn't you just tell me? Wouldn't feel right shoving your food about." "No, you have to taste it to understand." "But I..." "Please--taste the Chirashi" he repeated, firmly but politely. "Okay, where're your chopsticks?" "...a-HAAAAA!!"
