On-Yomi: ヒョウ

Koohii stories:

1) [rptb1] 12-11-2005(270): In the Old West there were no ballot boxes. Afraid of fraud and fighting among the gunslingers, the ballots were posted into a slot in the top of the local church altar instead. They may have been rough, but the cowboys wouldn't fight in the church.

2) [Soseki] 19-3-2008(42): In western political elections (US), peoples ballots will often depend on religion and at which altar the prospective president prays.

3) [samuize] 19-4-2008(38): In the West we show our opinion through the ballot box.

4) [thegeezer3] 12-6-2007(14): Clint eastwood and alter. Here clint eastwood imposes law and order. Teh first thing he does is to hold a vote "But we dont have a ballot box". clint punches a hole in the altar and says " you do now!" (imagine him standing over the altar and punching down kinda like karata guy would).

5) [Perry] 23-4-2010(12): Even in the Old West, the ballots showed Obama winning.
