Koohii stories:
1) [esaulgd] 14-9-2007(244): [Based on fuaburisu's] A man puts some rice on a fishhook as bait, but catches a fish so strong, he needs to take out his axe and sever the line lest he be dragged into the depths.
2) [marydj] 25-10-2007(117): When you get the ax at work, use your severance pay to buy fishhooks and rice. At least that way you can eat sushi.
3) [fuaburisu] 17-5-2006(59): The axe man is fishing at a nearby river, using a rice-ball on a hook as bait. He catches some real big fish, which is pulling so hard on the line that axe man has to sever the line or let go of his pricey fishing rod. And at the same time there is the idea of severance in axe man having to let go of his big catch.
4) [Viking101] 28-3-2012(53): Your manager brings you into his office and offers you three severance packages. You can take the hook (become a fisherman), take the rice (become a farmer), or take the axe (become a lumberjack). Picture the items laid out on his desk like the shopkeepers in Zelda.
5) [ihatobu] 6-10-2008(23): After he got hooked on rice wine the Japanese salaryman got the axe at work. Now all he has to live on is serverance pay.
