- Even ugly Karate-ka score regularly.
- In Karate you have a Sensei to tell you what you're doing wrong, and you get to practice first before trying it out for real.
- You can practice Karate with strangers without getting a bad reputation and you don't have to spend $30 in the bar getting to know them first.
- You are not being insulting if you insist that your Karate partner wear protective gear.
- No one expects a Karate bout to last much longer than two minutes and you don't have to worry afterwards if the other Karate-ka enjoyed it or not.
- In Karate you don't have to get your own equipment until you decide whether or not you like it.
- You usually practice Karate in a big, brightly lit room with lots of people in it.
- The person you're practising Karate with won't mind if your buddies stand around and cheer for you.
- It doesn't hurt if someone steps on bo.
- It is almost impossible to catch a disease from a bo.
- You can play with your bo in public and no one will laugh.
- No one cares how long your weapon is, and if it breaks you just go get a new one.
- It is easy to get pretty girls to hold on to your weapon.
- Finally, and perhaps most significantly, in Karate if your opponent doesn't come, you win.
