Although this story mentions the translator and translated a few words wrong I found it bit lacking in humor. But because you're from Ladner and I grew up in North Delta, I'll go easy on you. I know a Ruth Baron who Lives out that way. This is a long shot but you wouldn't be her would you?

A clever and interesting story thanks.

I did have a few suggestions if that's okay. The following: 'Eddie and Ruth, lived in a small town, Ladner, on the Pacific west coast of British Columbia' I would have written as 'Eddie and Ruth lived in Ladner, a small town on the Pacific west coast of British Columbia.

'Today was the result of, ten years of savings, they're off to Japan.' Delete comma after 'of'. Period after 'savings'.

"Yes, I told you that already. Add speech marks at the end of 'that already'.

'the force of the turn flew the little black box out of the pocket and smashed into the wall.' I might have written the ending 'out of the pocket, smashing it into the wall'.

You have depicted this confused communication well and it is quite amusing. I have had an encounter with sake and it really did affect my ability to walk! even though I did not drink tooo much.
