Koohii stories:

1) [Katsuo] 25-6-2007(37): Unsuccessful dieter's excuse: "If I put anything in my mouth, I immediately put on a ton.".

2) [mantixen] 2-8-2009(4): A mouth that says things immediately without thinking gets into a ton of trouble.

3) [dtcamero] 19-4-2011(3): The character 頓 (IMMEDIATE) is pronounced "トン". The addition of the MOUTH to the left indicates that it is used for its sound and to convey a meaning other than the normal meaning of the character.

4) [gavmck] 31-8-2010(1): An earthworm's head is just a mouth which it uses to create "tonnels". Note: 口 here signals that immediate is being used phonetically giving 口 + 頓 = 噸・トン ton.

5) [Aerin] 22-9-2008(1): Immediately after the words left my mouth, the stupidity of what I'd just said hit me like a ton of bricks. Very embarrassing.
