The Soy-rious Questions

Since you people ask the internet the weirdest things, here are the answers to the questions you were too embarrassed to ask your waiter.

What is a good pun for sushi?

Miso happy is the gold standard of mediocrity. It is safe, overused, and gets the job done.

What do you say when eating sushi?

Itadakimasu if you are polite. Get in my belly if you are stuck in 2012.

What is a funny quote about sushi?

“I followed my heart and it led me to the sushi bar.” It’s not funny, it’s just sad and true.

How do you make a sushi pun?

Take a word like roll, rice, or soy and force it into a sentence where it doesn’t belong. It is not rocket science.
