Koohii stories:

1) [dingomick] 6-3-2007(182): The gates are too big to be closed by man. Only a genie can. "Close sesame!".

2) [mantixen] 27-9-2008(89): You hear lesbians moaning "オォ~" from behind closed gates, and you ask a genius how to get in there.

3) [nmkohi] 23-7-2006(29): Bill GATES keeps his operating system CLOSED, does that make him a GENIUS? I think not.

4) [fuaburisu] 26-10-2005(19): A genie is making sure that the gates of Ali Baba's Cave are always closed. Picture the genie (who lives in an oil lamp in that cave) grumbling about how Ali Baba is so forgetful, and that it's always him, the genie who has to check that the gates are closed. See previous frame 1622 "open". – Note : I don't worry about the keyword "cave" here because you can't have the "cave" enclosure within the same kanji as the "gates" enclosure.

5) [chibimizuno] 16-9-2009(17): "オー no! I stayed out past curfew, and now the gate has been closed!".
