Plot

Yoshi was a Japanese businessman. He has been practicing his bowing for a very important job interview with Mr. Tanaka. He walks around the town until he sees Tanaka. Tanaka stands face to face with Yoshi. When Tanaka and Yoshi bow, Tanaka's head accidently hits Yoshi's head, which leads to Yoshi's death due to a fatal brain aneurysm. What a very tragic story.

"Your typical Japanese businessman bows 300 times a day. On this day, Yoshi.. bowed out."
