Koohii stories:

1) [narafan] 25-7-2007(293): A samurai's intentions always come from the heart.

2) [amthomas] 17-1-2007(107): Gentleman always have hearts full of good intentions.

3) [dihutenosa] 1-9-2007(42): Tom Cruise no doubt had good intentions when he made the Last Samurai - his heart in the right place (right there, down to earth). Too bad the concept of a white dude as the last samurai is ridiculous, if not offensive. Picture Tom Cruise in a press conference being asked about this, at which point he jumps on a heart-shaped, grabs somebody's hands, and screams BUT MY INTENTIONS WERE FROM THE HEART! SCIENTOLOGY HELPS PEOPLE.

4) [wazato] 3-10-2007(29): A samurai shows up at the door to pick up his date. Her father asks, "What are your intentions with my daughter?" He responds that his intentions come from the heart.

5) [nekoyaki] 9-4-2009(19): Father: "What are your intentions to my daughter?". Samurai: "I intend to give her my heart! (slices out his own heart and hands it over).
