Tough men wanted!

The label on this bottle reads ‘Tough Man’ in Japanese. Ironic that I saw it just days after an idiot had gone on a stabbing spree in Akihabara, Tokyo. A sad incident all round, seven died, many others were injured, and now the insect in question is claiming mental illness. Apparently he wanted to kill. Why he didn’t just go to a tall building and throw himself off then, escapes me. As tragic as it all panned out though, the thing that got me were the interviews afterwards. Young, well built guys were all too happy to tell the TV stations what they saw, how grisly it all was - but NONE of them made the effort to stop the killer. None approached him, threw something, hit him etc etc. NONE - tough men indeed!
