Koohii stories:

1) [aircawn] 24-12-2006(243): Like in the biblical sense, someone looks skyward and makes a request for salvation from this horrible taskmaster…

2) [Johan] 22-4-2006(131): For salvation you have to request forgiveness from God (the ultimate taskmaster).

3) [astgtciv] 10-6-2007(31): A cruel taskmaster makes a request to god for salvation from the sins commited during his life. Yeaaaah… right.

4) [dihutenosa] 14-4-2008(16): [+rtk] Who would need to request salvation more than Hitler? Hitler has joined the Salvation Army (in order to get some of his own). He hears that they need rice, and figures that the more grains of rice he gets, the more salvation he'll get. So he goes around town in his Santa suit requesting grains of rice. If someone doesn't pony up, he produces a small arrowhead (knives over 6cm are illegal in Japan) and snarls, "that wasn't a request".

5) [kanjihito] 11-11-2012(11): He requested salvation from God, the taskmaster (compare with pardon (#1744 赦)).
