• GEISHA LEARNING HOW TO DEAL WITH DRUNK and ABUSIVE CUSTOMERS

As two Geisha play harmonious music on their three-stringed sanshin, the other five take turns learning how to lasso and strangle a customer until he is rendered unconscious.

On average, each Geisha House had to subdue at least 3 customers a week using this technique. Even the strongest male could be subdued in this manner by several Geisha working together. Once the noose was slipped over his head and around his neck, that pretty much spelled the end of his trouble making.

Chronic “gropers” (and even worse) were usually taken down in 10 seconds or less, and a few remain hospitalized for at least a week. In a Geisha House, TESTOSTERONE was NOT a man’s best friend.

Just remember this one thing : KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF THE GEISHA

Interesting.
