Koohii stories:

1) [fuaburisu] 11-10-2005(183): You are given a speech about some serious mistakes of yours, and you have to endure the whole thing, because all you can do is acknowledge.

2) [sweetneet] 11-6-2006(142): I never read the "acknowledgements" section of books or theses, because they are mostly just boring words that i must endure reading, before i can get to the interesting part. :).

3) [matticus] 16-11-2005(82): You would think that most ninjas (see previous frame) would acknowledge each other's presence with something like a silent nod. Imagine the consequences if, while raiding an enemy castle, one stupid ninja chose to acknowledge another by saying, "HELLO!!".

4) [ihatobu] 9-12-2008(33): In Japan, people who make efforts to endure (gaman) can expect to receive words of acknowledgement at some point. The ability to endure is so valued and respected in Japan that acknowlegement of some sort is virtually inevitable.

5) [Medeo] 19-6-2009(25): Some Oscar winners go on far too long with their acceptance speech. But we are expected to politely ENDURE their endless stream of WORDS as they acknowledge their colleagues and loved ones.
