Why is this funny?
Customer: When is your next day off?
Cashier: I am open every except Saturday.

Be careful using it on people.
If you san Yamada wa dokodesuka? ... That sound like you are angly at Yamada and find him.
But it is okay to say Sensei wa dokodesuka? "Where is Sensei / Teacher?"

Determine what kind of leader you are!!!
Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu
織田信長 Oda Nobunaga：
「鳴かぬなら、殺してしまえ ホトトギス」
"If you don't sing for me, kill it."
豊臣秀吉 Toyotomi Hideyoshi：
「鳴かぬなら、鳴かせてみせよう ホトトギス」
"If you don't sing for me, I make you sing."
徳川家康 Tokugawa Ieyasu：
「鳴かぬなら、鳴くまで待とう ホトトギス」
"If you don't sing for me, I'll wait until you do."
The three are famous medieval samurai heads.
Those Senryu show what they are like.
Nobunaga - Showing his strength and determination
Hideyoshi - Showing his tactics and strategies
Ieyasu - Know for his patience for a long-term success
What kind of leader are you?
