Quote
A loss-making Japanese railway company is back on track thanks to the popularity of a stray cat.



Wearing a black cap and posing for photos with passengers, Tama the tabby is credited with boosting Wakayama Electric Railway's revenue by 10%.

The firm had to axe all staff at Kishi station in western Japan two years ago.

But Tama stuck by her post and was rewarded with promotion to station manager. The pet mascot even has her own office, a former ticket booth.

The feline, who was born and raised at the station in the city of Kinokawa, Wakayama prefecture, is living proof of the Japanese belief that cats are good luck.

Come on, you KNOW this was coming!!!

We all know that a pussy more commonly reduces one's income by at least 50%.
What can you do to end the hunger?
It's no surprise that many will die with the coming shortage of food
When there is no grain to feed the butchered cows
When there is nothing to feed yourselves...
Then you will see that money can't be eaten.

So....bad puns, derogatory remarks against asians and women and an irresponsible show of handling alcohol.

What hasn't been done in this thread?

Yeah. Now it's covered all the bases.
