Opera Geishas

I would be interested to see famous operas like Madama Butterfly performed by real geishas trained in opera. When a story centers around the life of a geisha why not have real ones perform it? Geishas are supposed to be trained in all the arts. I read that they are in decline in Japan so demand for a new genre of opera-trained geishas could help revive the tradition!

How to tell if someone's made for business (2)

If I tell you that whoever started the tradition of throwing coins into fountains must not have been wishing for money and you agree with the explanation then, like most people, you are not made for business. But if you add that the guy who started the tradition did not wish for money because he owned the fountain, I'd like to hire you.
