Koohii stories:

1) [Danieru] 12-6-2008(267): This character is used in two very high-frequency words: "you are welcome" ( どう致しまして ) and the honorific form of onegaishimasu ( お願い致します ; おねがいいたします). Can't you just picture this ridiculously polite S&M picture? A businessman, who DOTH the bidding of his taskmistress, is climaxing and yelling out " お願い致します " while she whips and says " どう致しまして ". (This kanji also means "to bring about" and "do humbly", which is perfect for this image).

2) [decamer0n] 23-4-2007(208): To reach climax I doth the bidding of my dominatrix taskmaster.

3) [pmbeddall] 7-11-2007(35): After he had climaxed Shakespeare is reported to have said to his taskmistress, "The lady doth charge too much.".

4) [fuaburisu] 27-11-2008(24): Let's have an irreverent take on a line from the play “Hamlet”, by William Shakespeare : “The lady doth protest too much.” : “The climaxing taskmistress doth whippeth too much”. Our taskmistress is enjoying the whipping so much, she climaxes. My taskmistress image comes from the classic game “Dungeon Keeper”. In this game, the “mistress” character is dressed in a 'domination' outfit, and whips your servants (goblins etc.) to make them work faster.

5) [eltjopoort] 31-5-2008(22): The taskmaster is my old English teacher. He loved Shakespeare, and the climax if his day was to hear his pupils say doth.
