May 18 1936
Tokyo gangster Kichizo Ishida is accidentally strangled by his mistress during a session of rough sex. Ishida had been a "gasper," someone who enjoys the sexual effects of asphyxiation. The woman, Sada Abe, indulged him by wrapping her pink kimono belt around his neck. After her lover's death, Abe cuts off Ishida's penis and scrotum with a meat cleaver and carries them around until she is finally arrested, three days later.

Wow.... I didn't know ASA was around for that long.

Enlightenment

I learned something about me that I'm not proud of today. Our receptionist brought it to my attention. She was in a bitchy mood but that's irrelevant. Apparently, I cut people off in our conversations. (It was regarding a trival situation with her, boohoo, but I was interested.) On reflexion, I realized, I ask a question, then before they are finished, I ask another one.
The thing is, is that after I ask the question, they start to answer and I know what they are going to say, so I go on to another topic.
By the time their thought process has formed the answer, I get it already. They don't know this and maybe I come across as being indifferent to their response.
No one has ever said this to me before, and when it happened today, I laughed and said, I guess I've been told! The owner of the clinic heard me and said what's so funny? I told him and he laughed too! My patients love me and I love them but I will be more aware of my gift in the future. It will be tedious but I will persevere. :-)
