As a TIT alum, this headline from the English edition of Japan’s prestigious Daily Yomiuri reminded me how much I admire the TIT faculty. They’re firm, yet perky and accessible teachers who command their pupils’ interest. How I miss my college days, when I could give my undivided attention to TIT and could spend days and days contemplating TIT’s magnificent facilities. Sadly, TIT has been squeezed and pulled by numerous administrative issues leading to sagging performance and drooping enrollment numbers. However, I’m sure students will be lining up for this new TIT Examination and TIT will once again bulge with intellectual endeavors and gush torrents of piping-hot new ideas.

Mr. Yamatonokuni, I'm taken care of. What you wrote was very interesting today. It is the matter of the TIT Faculty I write about. My son wants enter other private university, but after all reading this blog I want to put him in the TIT. How can I put my junior in the TIT?
No easy task bob, as TIT has exceptionally high standards, particularly the TIT Technical Industrial Engineering School (TITTIES). To pass the tough TITTIES exam, your little man will have to struggle and strain until he is nigh spent. He will undoubtedly lose his strength and try to give up, so you must support him firmly, thrusting him again and again into the TITTIES until he succeeds.
Mr. Yamatonokuni, thank you. It was studied very much. However, after all I am anxious for money. How much will be necessary to put one's junior in TITTIES?
Bob,your son may be eligible for the Giant TITTIES Loan, which allows promising young lads of rock-hard resolve to get all up into the TITTIES without delay. Contact the TIT office of financial aid for details.
I don't know if anyone else has noticed or not but the initials TIT could be misinterpreted to refer to a portion of the female anatomy. I hadn't noticed immediately either but it seems to be true! I checked in Webster's online dictionary and the word tit (or in this case the acronym for Tokyo Institute of Technology, TIT) refers either to a small bird which eats mainly grass seed or tit may occasionally be used as slang in referece to a woman's (achem) breast or busom as it were. This is an awkward juxtaposition but it might lend itself to a bit of humorous wordplay. If anyone reading can think of how to make sport of this, please let us know.
In my country, there are many sports which call for the use of small birds. For example, we have pheasant hunting, quail hunting, duck hunting, hawk hunting, pidgeon hunting, turkey hunting (a large bird), and the list goes on. There is also badminton in which people hit a "birdie." But as know hunting rifle or shotgun is used, I wouldn't exactly call it a sport.
Egads! I had no idea my beloved alma mater's acronym had such a wide range of possible interpretations. Needless to say I meant nothing tawdry or unseemly in my praise of TIT, and its affiliate school TITTIES. We TIT-men are a rare breed indeed. In fact, there are hardly any more of us TIT-men left in Japan, due to the enormous brain-drain imposed by our arch-rival, the Corporate University of NanoTechnology. As for bird hunting, I could use this opportunity to take a cheap shot at US Vice President Dick Cheney, but as he also imports large quantities of Lolita porn from my grey-market trading company, I shall refrain.
