It's been a while since my last post. I had written about those for whom death is merely work, and it started me thinking about those who work themselves to death.
So, I decided to take a vacation.
Now that I've returned, I present to you this little item in honor of my time away. You'll notice the emblem affixed to the front. It contains the Japanese word,"Karoshi," which means "death from overwork." Yes, the Japanese actually have a word for that. Perhaps every language should. The complete text reads, "Karoshi: be careful not to work too hard."
That's a concept I can get behind. If it appeals to you as well, you can purchase one of these fine shirts from J-List. You'll find their ad banner on this very blog, and you'll be looking for item number SHIRT-OVER1 .
Just think of all the fun you'll have explaining your new motto to the tired masses.
