From an email sent by my mother:

Grammy Raymond does not want you to go to Japan, they stick bamboo up people's fingernails, it won't be safe. I didn't have the heart to tell her that stuff doesn't really go on anymore as a rule, I just told her I wouldn't let you go and she was happy that I'm a good mother.

I... don't even know what to say. My great-grandmother is the funniest woman in the world.

Bamboo? No, I think they use rusty iron now. The terrors of tetanus, and all.

I thought it was a different country that did the bamboo torture. Thinking Vietnam for some reason.

... that's it?

Dirty panty vending machines, women's private train cars because there's too much of a groping danger, and what's probably the world's HIGHEST pervert-to-not-pervert ratio ever, and she's worried about a crazy torture practice that no one's heard of?

... gooooooootta love it.

I'd be more worried about the expensiveness, myself. Pervs can likely be handled. Running out of money...not so much.

DAMN YOU ASHLEY.

I just made a fool of myself by laughing out loud in the otherwise oh-so-quiet computer lab. It is all your fault.

Your Grammy sounds hilarious.
