Koohii stories:

1) [astridtops] 28-3-2007(25): The village that made its living out of catching fish above all was prone to be raided by pirates. So they made a watch turret out of trees and would look every day if the pirates were coming.

2) [adrianbarritt] 21-2-2008(11): They were stuck in that wooden turret for ages, with nothing but sundried fish to eat.

3) [n1williams] 9-12-2009(9): In a Japanese castle, the TURRET (やぐら) was made of WOOD and was far from the center of activity. To pass the time, guards would shoot at the FISH in the moat until the SUN went down.

4) [Sunspot] 14-7-2011(6): Fish + sun becomes Russia (魯). In Russia, turrets are made of wood.

5) [dancingblade] 20-7-2010(4): (+astridtops) From previous experiences, the Japanese fish market constructed a wooden turret to prevent themselves from getting raided on Fish Day. (Um… turret as in watchtower…).
