I went to the Osaka DMV today to get my regular license renewed, and also to get an an international license so that I can legally drive when I go home to visit this summer. I find no end of amusement in the fact that I can't drive in my home country without such elaborate preparations; I almost want to get pulled over, just to see the cop's reaction.
Okay, not really, but I think you get my point.
While sitting around waiting for them to call my name and deliver my precious permit to drive in foreign lands, I decided to avail myself of a refreshing drink and came across this humorous contraption: a vending machine that displays short comedy skits from the famous Yoshimoto comedy group while it prepares your tasty beverage. Osaka hometown pride I can understand, but talk about your esoteric locations!

Wow - only in Osaka. What really boggles the mind is the realization that somewhere, some committee within the DMV probably had to hold a meeting on acquiring their snack/comedy dispenser.
