(577) A liar's joke and Enma the king [joke]
The Enma Festival was held from Feb. 4th to 6th at Seigoji temple in Uwajima.
Enma is the great king of the Buddhist hades.
Here is an English joke.
What happens when a liar dies?
Some Japanese might answer to this question like this.
His tongue will be pulled out by Enma, the king of Hell.
But this English joke's answer is,
He lies still.
This answer has double meanings.
One is;
He is in a horizontal position, not moving.
He is in a horizontal position, not moving.
The other is;
He continues telling lies after his death.
