There's been alot of stories revolving around what Nodoka thinks constitutes a
'Man Among Men,' Here's one more. I'm not proud... Or tired...
What It Means To Be A Real Man
by Neil Reynolds
"Nodoka-san, allow me to introduce you to your son. Perhaps the best martial
artist in his age group. His battle with the dragon-descended prince of the
Musk dynasty, destroyed an entire mountain. I hope he meets your requirement
of a 'Man among men.'"
Nodoka looks at her son. "Tell me, Ranma. Have you ever done anything really
dangerous?"
"Like what?"
"Synchronized Swimming. It's a man's sport, Ranma. You're forced to wear a
lycra bathing cap with little flowers on it, the thin piece of material, the
only protection your hair has from the deadly clorine drenched water. It'd
give you split ends. As you swim with your bum sticking in the air."
Ranma looks at his mother in shock. "Synchronized swimming?"
"It's a rush, pushing you right to the edge. You get to put nail polish on
your toes, and do a little windmill with your feet sticking up in the air.
"I haven't done that. But I did invent my own attack to counter Ryouga's Chi
blast. You wouldn't believe what it felt like to get hit by that thing before
I develloped a defence for it."
"Anyone who thinks Martial Arts is painful, has never gone through a bikini
wax!"
"I rescued Akane from prince Kirin by creating a hot spring in his throne room,
and fought him using the water to defeat his invincible technique."
"Wait a minute! You fought a foriegn prince in a throneroom full of water?"
"Yes."
"Did you feel the urge to swim upside down and do a descending pirouette with
your feet?"
"Well, no."
"What a wimp! In the future, Ranma, keep your toes pointed, your bum straight
up, and dont forget your mascarra."
This was inspired by lack of sleep, and listening to skits by the "Royal
Canadian Air Farce." P.D.Q. Bach would have been refered to as "recycled;" in
other words, it was stolen.
I hope this gets a laugh.
