I love it when people from all walks of life devote themselves to humor. Comedians aren't born, they are created. Thus is the case with Taro Makeburu, a former fisherman devoted to sharing the seedy secrets of the deep. Not tales of mermaids and sirens, but good old fashion sexual relations with traditional ocean dwelling life.

"Almost everybody in the fishing business has had sex with a manta at some point," Makeburu proclaims.

While I would do no justice to the comedic write up on Mainichi, Makeburu says that sex with a manta isn't just for long stays from port, but also a rite of passage. While it disturbs me to think that "getting sickly drunk" and "having sex with a fish" could be considered conventionally acceptable parts of youth, the intrinsic humor wins me over.

Two experts from the article after the jump. Definitely NSFW... if your Boss has really good eyes... and no sense of humor(xenophobic)?
