Koohii stories:

1) [ziggr] 30-10-2006(372): The Federal Bureau of Investigation has email scanners that flag certain phrases.

2) [esaulgd] 10-9-2007(92): They do nothing at the bureau other than repeating the stupid catchphrase they have on their flag.

3) [Alunalun] 19-7-2009(29): This is a Tourist Information Bureau. It has lots of national flags signs to indicate which languages are spoken/available and it stocks many phrasebooks.

4) [Filip] 23-1-2008(18): The Federal Bureau of Investigation are the really patriotic ones, or they wouldn't be working there. Every day, standing before the American flag the phrase: ' I pledge allegiance to the United States of America and its republic it stands for etc…'.

5) [Shibo] 13-5-2008(17): The bureau (FBI) released a phrasebook designed for survival in any country. I looked at my copy and asked a girl if I could buy her a drink, but the book was wrong.. I asked if I could pee on her instead. Luckily it all worked out.. (Note: I use "pee" for the "flag" primitive).
