Imagine this. You’re Japan’s finance minister. You’ve been dragged to Rome to attend a G7 meeting even though all you want to do is eighteen double Tequila slammers before bed. So just before the meeting you prepare by having just a little drink. There’s nothing wrong with that, right?
But then all of a sudden hilarious videos of you trashed at the meeting appear on the net. It also turns out you climbed over the security bar at a museum and sat on a world famous statue. No biggie, right?
On the plus side the Prime Minister hasn’t asked you to resign but he sure sounded angry, so you retire. So where do you go next? That’s right, Mike from JapanIsDoomed.com writes an article pretending you wrote a book that tells readers how to get utterly smashed at international meetings and get away with it, whilst in reality you just slowly fade into obscurity.
That’s right! This summer be one of the first to own the g7 summit: last one drunk is a big loser! The book follows professional drinker and part-time Japanese finance minister Shoichi Nakagawa’s rise to drinking fame, culminating in his amazing performance at the g7 Rome summit in early 2009!
But that’s not all! In this amazing book Nakagawa will provide top tips on not one, not two but three different disciplines;
- Becoming the Japanese finance minister whilst drunk
This amazing section teaches you how to forsake your sobriety and liver in favour of a high ranking government role! Essential reading for adults and children alike! Start them young! - What to do at a g7 meeting
Something that everyone has to deal with at one time in their life is sitting on an international council. Nakagawa provides his own insights into what to do in this time. Suggestions include ‘sweating an obscene amount’, ‘slurring your words uncontrollably’ and ‘long, overdrawn and embarrassing silences’. - How to get closer to the exhibits at museums in Rome
This super bonus sections teaches you how to hop over security barriers and get comfy on statues worth several billion dollars!
You’ll wonder how you survived without these amazing steps! But don’t take our word for it, here direct from the man himself is a choice tip, free of charge;
It’s really hard to get on a flight drunk. So what I like to do is wear a really heavy jumper, and before I set off for the airport I have a bath, wearing the jumper, in Vodka. Although it makes me reek and makes my clothing incredibly heavy, it means I can suck delicious Vodka out of my sleeves for a good eight hours! Fantastic!
