Maybe he just wanted some good yakitori?

“

Yakitori is little skewers of chicken or some other meat, cooked over a charcoal fire. Usually has a teriyaki marinade or some such. Very good, but like most Japanese cooking, difficult to get full on unless you buy a lot of them...”

“'some other meat...'

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...


Then you wash it down with frosty glasses of Yak Bile, right?”

“Oh no, usually some really tasty Japanese beer. I like Sapporo, but Kirin isn't bad. Just avoid Suntory, it's the "Old Milwaukee" of Japanese beer...”

“Yeah, but cooking with gasoline may make this stuff a little well done, wouldn't it?”

“looks good in the picture though...”

“Details, details....

It probably wasn't gasoline anyway, the guy probably just didn't know the english for "charcoal lighter fluid".

Actually, the Wright brothers used a gasoline heater they built themselves to warm their North Carolina hangars. And some U.S. cars were built with heaters which were gasoline-fired. Dangerous though.”

“Yakitori is really good. But you get funny looks from the street vendors when you buy enough to feed 10 Japanese just for yourself.”

“lol, Bit! And you are probably right, it was 'charcoar righter fruid'.”

“Maybe he should have just taken Artex with him instead...”

“It's not really racist when you make stereotypical remarks or make fun of language if you're targeting oriental people... it's just comedy, right?”

“This poses an important question: Is it still legal for Artex to travel by air in the U.S.? I mean, unless he's using his prodigious gas output to propel himself through the air.

Another question: Assuming the latter option, does Artex have a tail number, and is he required to file a flight plan before farting?”

“Is he sanctioned by the EPA???”
