That was Kent Derricott, very famous in Japan. I met him while I was on my mission in Tokyo South, even took my picture with him and then he talked at BYU when he came back. He told the story about the lady asking for his autograph there at BYU. He said she finally got some toilet paper.
I don't really have any of my own stories from the mission except for the "soji no obasan (cleaning lady)" that was so common it doesn't really count. It was somewhat strange/novel at first but it didn't take very long to get used to. |

Here is something interesting that I learned while on a date, yes I actually date, I too was surprised. Dating is not as common as one would hope or have thought in a single ward but that is not a topic for this forum.
We went mini-golfing(WEEeeee), we got to talking and I found out something interesting about him. I thing we were talking about foreign exchange students. Both our parents had hosted exchange students while we were in Jr. High. My parents had a Japanese guy going to College or University I did not care to make not at the time. His family had a Japanese girl going to high school. It was the same High School I went to and part of a Sister School program. We sent them a few kids and they send us some kids. The kids live with the parents of the kid who their parents are hosting. I hope that made sense to you. I will call my date Joe, so Joe’s sister was living with the exchange student’s family.
In our discussion he told me of an embarrassing moment he had involving the Japanese girl.
One day his parents went to some dinner or thing so he was alone when he got home. The Japanese girl always stayed after school for meetings and junk, he did not really know what she did. In both our cases or experiences with hosting students they were not overly social, not unsocial but contact was brief and limited. So he was 14 if I recall and had the house all to himself for a few hours. He took this opportunity to take a shower and not have to wear anything afterward. He took his shower and was walking down the hall to his room while wearing the air and nothing else, when as he turned the corner he ran smack into the exchange student. They both stumbled back and he froze when he saw what or rather who he walked into. He was so shocked that he was unable to move to cover up or speak. She bowed, said hello and apologized for bumping into him then continued on to her room. When she was out of sight he regained control of his body and ran for his room and got dressed as fast as he could.
He was freaking out about her seeing him naked, what if she told his parents? Should he talk to his parents first, would she tell his parents, would she tell anyone? She did not seem shocked, maybe she did not notice, how could she not notice? He thought some other things but I don’t remember all for what he said. The final decision was that he should talk to her first and see what she saw and beg her not to tell. I do not see why she would tell anyone but her friends, well they might tell others and I guess it is possible that word could get out and spread to his school but still I think that unlikely.
He went to her room and knocked, she answered and he asked if he could talk to her, she said yes. He told her he wanted to talk about what happened in the hall she nodded. He asked her if she had noticed anything during the encounter? She told him other than that he was naked, no. Then he pleaded with her not to tell his parents. She said Ok she would not tell. He thanked her and was about to run and hide again,(his words) when I wondered something. He asked her why she did not react at seeing him naked or when he brought it up just then.
Now this is the clincher. She said she was use to seeing naked people at home. I to would have asked his next question. “Why?” She said that she and her family bath together often and each summer go to a “ What is right word, Nudeeist club.”
I was floored, what are the odds of getting a nudist exchange student, and what are the odds that he would tell me this story, the one girl on our Ward how would appreciate it. OK, for all I know he tells that story for all his dates but I rather doubt that.
He asked if I know what I nudist was and I played possum and said I have heard of them but did not know much. OK, I lied, I will repent later, I just wanted to know what HE knew. Inside I was flipping out and had to fight not to smile like an idiot. He told me that nudist are people who like to go around naked all the time or when ever they can. It is popular in Europe and some what in the states, I asked what about Canada, he did not know of any groups in Canada but was sure there had to be a few. I got his opinion for the Nudist thing and he said they can do it if they want as long as they do it behind closed doors and at their clubs, he did not mind. He was not inclined to try it, But he did try it. I pointed out to him that he was the one walking naked through the house. That was different and a one time thing. Denial anyone !! I had to ask how he know so much about nudists, apparently she the Japanese girl said she as a Nudeeist he did not know what she meant and asked her. Now who could resist asking my next question, “Did you, ever see her naked, be honest?” No, he said he had not but he did show her how to use the bathtub once. He explained it had some kind of mono handle that controlled hot and cold as well as shower or bath and most of the time it is set on shower. She wanted a bath and could not figure out how to change that. I double I could either form how he described it plus the fact I am blind in the shower anyway. It is a funny story that I hate taking showers at unfamiliar places because it is hard to know what handle does what and even where they are. I especially hate those little shower stalls some people have were the door is the same colour as the walls, I can’t find the sinking door. The worst was at a leaders house and she had a small stall shower where all the walls and door were white and the shower head was on the ceiling and the shower handles were on the outside of the shower, I had no idea were I was, it was really frustrating getting lost in a shower stall. I kept hitting the walls with knees, elbows, my head, hands and toes. I came out to that thing with more bruises than a boxer.
I totally went off topic again, now I have to remember were I was. Hmm…ok.. yeah.. All right.
I think that was it, I really was done.

To answer FullMonty, no I do not think there will be a second date. He is playing the field per-say. He has been asking all the Sisters out one at a time to get to know them. So if there is a second date it won't be for a while.
Now back to the topic. Yesterday, at 12 midnight or so I was sitting on the couch watching Jurassic Park 2 and wearing only a t-shirt. The front door unlocks and opens and in walks my brother. No big deal until I here is voice. WRONG BROTHER!! It was my oldest brother who came in not the brother I live with. He had come from work to pickup something he needed for the next day, a tool kit. He works really late hours so gets to his own home around midnight most nights.
So when I realize it is NOT who I thought I am all GAAAHAAHAHHA!!!! I jump up and grab the cats blanket and quickly through it over my lap as I land sitting trying to act natural. In case you were wondering, no the cat was not using it at the time otherwise she would have gone flying when I grabbed it.
He said hi and I said hi and asked where the tool kit was. He had called earlier in the day asking to borrow it so it was waiting near the door. I knew he or his wife would be picking it up but I did not expect him to show up at midnight, even though it does make some sense to do it that way. He then said bye and I said bye and he left.
A close call. He knows I sometimes walk around the house in my underwear when no one is home but I would have had a hard time explaining why I was bottomless.

Could you pronounce that for us?
Anyway, back on topic. But then, it's your house and he walked in on you at midnight, why should you be in such a panic to hide your comfort level from him?
I have a younger sister that moved to my town to go to college a few years ago. She's always welcomed in my house but she'd just show up, walk right in and stand in the entry way looking around. Sometimes I'd walk down the hall and find her just standing there, it startled me a few times. I made a comment to her that she'd probably catch naked one of these days... she rings the doorbell every time now.

| Sounds like it is time to "come out". (though I admit I haven't been able to do so yet and probably won't for awhile) |

I actually WAS wondering that. I had a mental image of the cat being yanked rudely off the blanket, flying through the air, and then going off to sulk (as cats do so well). |

II cant remember if I mentioned it before somewhere but a few years ago I was working in a small office in back of and down a short hall from my main office. It was quite hot in the office (no air conditioning - cheap landlord) and I had shed my clothes some time before going to the back office and I had nothing to put on or cover with... The other two tenants were out of town and one other guy who had a key to the back offices rarely came in so I wasn't worried (the back offices are small open rooms off a main corridor). Of course, the guy did come in. I heard him opening the door so I quickly hopped up from the desk and before he came around the corner I said "Hey Jim would you mind going back out, counting to ten and then come back in?" He didn't even ask why. He left and started counting while I hurried down the hall to my main office. He never asked for an explanation and I never offered one. I have changed in the years since then and if the same thing happened again I am confident that I would have just stayed at the desk and continued working. To him I would have just appeared shirtless, working in my office. If he asked questions I would answer them in a matter of fact way.
It kind of funny now looking back at the situation and how hyper I got at almost being caught nude. I thought I had really dodged a bullet there! He was just another dude after all. Why was I so alarmed? The guy had spent years in various south pacific islands. He probably would not have cared in the least. Who knows, he might have joined me nude. |

Years ago I had a business partner. I am very observant and very visual. He was not. He just didn't notice a lot of things. I often gave him a bad time about it. One day I joked with him that I could be working nude in the office and he probably wouldn't notice.
So several days later when I knew he was coming, I got stark naked and was standing by my desk when he walked in. I thought I would get a reaction and it would be a big joke, but there was no reaction. NONE. He just went to his desk and started working. Finally I said, "Hey, did you notice that I'm naked?" He smiled and said yes. I laughed and told him I was proud of him for being so observant.
I felt a little silly. I hadn't thought out in advance what the scenarios might be or how I might react. So there I was, at work naked. I didn't know what to do, and felt that scrambling to get derssed would be just as wierd as following through with the nude thing. So I just remained naked. We discussed our daily business, and with in about a half an hour, he left.
Even today I'm not sure wheather he was too embarrased to say anything, or if it was just no big deal to him, or if he was just smart enough to know how to make ME feel uncomfortable.
It was never mentioned again, and I never worked nude again (unless I was SURE no one would be coming in).

Yesterday I went on a Ward Rafting trip, it was almost fun except for the raft that kept attacking the rest of us. They said it was all fun and games but how is it fun for us who did not want to get wet and told them out right that we wanted no part of their evil doing. I think that made us bigger targets to be honest.
The interesting thing, well it was all interesting and absolutely beautiful the parts I could see as having a bucket of water thrown in your face tends to hurt and leave you blind of some time. As you can tell I am still a little peeved about it.
We used a rafting company and our raft guide was even LDS and hopfuly will be moving into a ward near me, we were trying to talk her into it. At the HQ they have two port-a-potties and a changing booth for people to change in and use for other reasons in the case of the potties. Some of our number used them to change into their swim attire, I just wore mine under my clothes just in case I got wet as I was not planning to other than when getting in and out of the raft and when going over some rapids.
I keep wading out topic. The changing stalls got we in my raft on the topic of accidental exposure and having people walk in on us or almost doing so. One account of note came from a sister not in my Ward (we are combined for the summer due to loss of numbers)she told us that two years ago, making her 17 at the time, she was at a guy friends house and his family had a pool. She and her friend had fun in the pool for most of the day and had plans to go on a date that evening. She had changed into her swim suit in his room and he in the bathroom,I guess that counts as chivalry, and had returned there to reverse the posses. Right when she had finished drying off after getting undressed she turned toward the door to get her clothes and her boy friends little brother (15)walks in in the act or asking a question. They both froze on the spot and time stood still for like ten minutes as neither one could move. Then he darted out slamming the door and she jumped for the covers to cover up. She said that in real time he maybe saw her for like a few seconds but that was more then enough. She wrapped her self in a blanked and locked the door until she had finished dressing. Down stairs the brother was waiting and begged her not to say anything to his brother about what just happened and said he was SOOOO sorry and that he had just got home and did not even know she was there let alone in his brothers room.
She was not about to tell anyone about having been seen naked anytime soon. She obviously got over the shock as she told us about it. Other storied involved being caught with pants down and or shirtless. I will point out that there were nine people on the raft including the guide and seven were female, to bad for the guys. We were a weird group, I got to be lead left paddler and one sister there wrote a song on the spot all about how poo is important for trees. We talked about the uses for poo for ten minutes.
When I got home I was still wet and could not wait to get dry again. The moment I got in and shut the door off came everything and oh it felt good. I took a shower, I was wet, sweat (or glistened) already and my hair was gritty plus I was already naked so it just made sense and spent the rest of the day in just a t-shirt. I have no place to go.
It was fun mostly and my brother even went. This was his third time going to the activity and first time in the raft. He in not water compatible. He is the only certified life guard I know who can't swim. I really makes me wonder about the life guard standards. He said that they just assume you can so do not test it. There I go again off on a tangent. |

I would just like to add something here. There I did it now I can go.
Oh, you want more? I think I can help you with that.
The real reason I am posting here is because I think I might have MOONed my neighborer this evening. I was at home and the last few days have been extra hot so I have been spending more time in less clothing. I was getting something from the fridge when I happened to look out the kitchen window and saw my neighbor. So whilst I was getting something to eat I had inadvertently been pointing my butt at the window. I do not know or really think you saw anything as my kitchen window is like seven feet above ground level and he was outside trimming the small trees between our houses. Plus add to that that our houses are only seven maybe eight feet apart and there is a six foot fence between us and also that my butt was like two feet from the window. calculate all this together plus the fact that I do not think he is the type of guy to intentionally look through peoples window, and I figure that he would not and probably could not seem my butt from where he was. I could only see the top of his head. When I told my brother that I might have mooned the neighbor he just laughed and said he knew I was going to do that someday.
Also in a side note at work today I was asked to stay after closing to verify the tills. I was not scheduled to today but the girl who was wanted to leave an our early for something and asked me to cover the rest of her shift. I get paid extra (overtime) and I had nothing better to do. I have done it may times so it is nothing new. However what she said to me just before leaving was interesting and a bit odd I thought. She said that when ever she has to verify the tills she always gets the urge to streak through the store naked. I was like, "What? really? uh .. oddly I have never had that urge."
You would think I would be the one to want to be nude in the store but no I really do not. I like being naked because it is relaxing, work is not relaxing even if there is no one else around to see me. Well the manager is but they go into the office and count the money and do paper work for ten to fifteen minutes while I tidy the store and turn stuff off. So really if I wanted to I could walk through the store naked and no one would be the wiser but like I said, I do not really have much of a desire to do that.
I wonder if I could get the other girl I suggested streaking in the first place to do it if I said I did or would if she did. I do not think I WILL but it would be funny to see her reaction.  |

... which may be one of his reasons for trimming the tree.
I have no idea how many times we've mooned our neighbors, they are still friendly at church so I don't think it's been one too many times. |

Well no, I just sort of thought it was almost funny, mostly just interesting to think about whether it is even possible. If he saw my butt I don't really care that much, I do a little but not a lot. That was the fist time I have seen anyone there on that side of the fence. They are young trees and I am sure they will not live lone as they are growing within two feet of his house and that can not be good for the house, It is not all the good for my house either. If I see him there again I might be suspicious as to whether or not he really did see something and hoping to see more. Their bathroom window is right across from my kitchen window and on occasion they leave the window open a crack and I have seen things. The most I ever saw was what I assume was some ones pubic hair, just before the window closed. I had no idea if it belonged to a male or female or really what I saw for that matter. I do not make a habit of looking at their window. Frankly the trees are the only thing worth looking out at.... well that and the sky.
Well not that I am completely of topic, how about the price of eggs? |
