Why it Would Suck to be a Samurai.

I have no idea where this came from.

It would suck to be a samurai because first it is very hard to become a samurai, and then if you even lose one battle, you have to kill yourself. That doesn't seem fair to me, plus it's probably the reason there are no samurais left. What if you tripped on a rock, something totally out of your control like that? I mean, you have to kill yourself now because some retarded gardener left a bamboo shoot sticking up in the grass? Also, what if you were a samurai and then one day you found out that you were going to have to battle one of your BFF's from back in the day at the samurai training academy? One of you is going to die, you both know it, and for what? So some rich old wrinkled up dynasty people can have something to bet on. Go shoot some fireworks, guys, I ain't killing my BFF just for your amusement. But maybe that's not the Samurai Way. I just think it would suck to learn how to fight and blow shit up and be able to hide and move silently through the forest and all that to just go and basically be a bodyguard to some rich old fart who doesn't give a shit because he has 50 other samurai at his beck and call. Sure, you could run away, go be a Ronin or something, but what's the good in that? You still wouldn't be able to own property, have a wife or kids or anything like that because all the other Samurai would try and kill you on sight. You can also forget about being a Ninja, those guys don't let anybody new in their little clubs. Being a samurai is clearly the hardest to get dead-end job ever. If I had the choice, I'd be a fisherman.

This was funny. I can see why you put it in File 13. It seems sort of like writing practice.

Still fun as hell to read though.

I'm going to keep an eye open for more of your stuff.

That was pretty funny and pretty good for something short and random. Keep up the good work.
