When I was but a young lad I had the pleasure to travel overseas, it was like a federally funded vacation where I got to do cool things like hike through tropical landscaped, wade in the warm waters while hiking, stay up all night and check out the stars, eat prepackaged meals. But I also realized how far the American Dollar went, so why would I do my own laundry that would take me half a day when I could pay a laundry service $15 a month to do it all, pressed, starched, folded and packed all acording to specifications and much better than I could ever do.
Of course I would go and pick up my laundry from the laundry service where the nice little lady while handing me my goods would say Hai dozo, me having a fun sense of humor would then follow up with, "Bozo?!, why are you calling me a bozo?" The laundry service lady being very embarrassed would then say.."no, no, no..dozo, dozo, dozo", to which I would then say, "its not very nice of you to call me a bozo"
Finally after a few minutes I would get a big smile on my face and let them know I was kidding, and we would laugh and laugh and laugh!
The End

Domo arigato. I suspect this is more than a simple tale of Okinawa.

"Don't touch my moustache" has always been my favorite bastardization of a common Japanese saying.
