After some dinner, how about wiping your mouth with some fanny?
Box of Fanny Napkins spotted last night at a chuka restaurant.
The text reads...

The soft tipe uses 100% pure pulp
For a softness that is gentle on a skin

      Well, depends on where you live. When livin in the UK it is likely that those napkins have been near a womans privat area. When living in the US it is a save bet that they have been in contact with someones bum.

      Seriously, you just gotta love the Japanese for not being able to use the English language correctly even if their live would depend on it xD

    I have that same calendar on my wall! ( º.º )

    No suggestive napkins, though.

    I actually had to think to get the joke here. "Fanny" is not so common a colloquialism that I make the connection automatically, anymore.
