SUMO SWAN
News Item: Hiyori Kon is an amateur sumo wrestling champ in Japan but unable to
compete professionally because women are banned.
What are they afraid of? That's all I ask.
You mean they won't give any reason ...
No, they won't, and think of all the sacrifices I have made to get where I am at age 22.
In what way is that?
I have to eat, eat, eat, though I'd rather be a swan.
Well, I can think of many women trying to keep their figures, always watching calories,
would love that.
Yes, but I have to eat to keep increasing my weight and be imposing, fearsome, and
difficult to move.
What's wrong with that?
Try getting a date ...
Have you tried the internet?
They're all scared of me. Once I used my sister's picture.
What happened?
When he saw me, he looked scared. He ran away when I ordered a dozen Big Macs.
What did you do?
I ate 'em and ordered a dozen more to console myself. I have feelings too. Just so
you know, under this imposing exterior beats a little girl's heart.
Do you dream of a fairy tale prince?
That I don't. I always imagine how I could throw him out of a sumo ring into the
audience ...
