Beautiful Little Island

Zさん："Ugh. I've had that old Madonna song 'La Isla Bonita' in my head all day."
Aさん：「What does that mean anyway? 'La Isla Bonita'」
Zさん："Beautiful little island, I think, in Spanish it is a female noun."
Aさん：「Is there a male version?」

ミスタースパーコル："Mmm... ボニト..."

Zさん："... well there you go ...

Real Ingredients

Eちゃん：「Hey mister, want to buy some Girl Scout cookies?」
Zさん："Heh, heh, are they made from real Girl Scouts?"
Eちゃん：「Yes, they are. Is that beer you're drinking made from real giraffes?」
Zさん："... touche...!"

That Socks

Zさん：“The term 靴下 confuses me.”
Aさん：「Oh, here we go.」
Zさん：“下 means 'under', as in 机の下(under the desk). So wouldn't  靴下 refer to the ground (under the shoe)? Plus, with a different kanji, 靴舌is pronounced the same, but means a shoe “tongue”. I think 靴中 makes much more sense for socks.”
Aさん：「Here's an idea: just don't wear socks.」
Zさん：“ … and what, wear 下駄？Oh, don't get me started on 下駄！What with the...”
Aさん：「。。。」

The Beauty of the Electromagnetic Spectrum

Bさん：「あっ！その木はきれいですね！花は真っ白ですね。」
Zさん："真っ白? What does that mean?"
Bさん：「Bright white or pure white.」
Zさん："Oh, cool. Can you say the same with other colors, for example, 真っ黄色?"
Bさん：「Absolutely!」
Zさん："Ooo, wait, visual light is only a small part of the EM spectrum. Can you also say 真っ赤外線 or 真っ紫外線?"
Bさん：「I suppose, but the point is...」
Zさん："Or how about 真っガンマ線 or 真っX線? Or perhaps generalize with the simple 真っ電波."
Bさん：「... sure ... poets and artists throughout history have extolled the beauty of the electromagnetic spectrum.」
