Japanese idioms

Another absorbing blog http://flamenca.livejournal.com/ where a Russian woman tells funny stories of her life in Amsterdam, her Arabic husband and his brother, made me write something in my blog. I haven't had any funny accidents lately. But I found amusing reading the idioms of Chinese and Japanese languages. The following were the best ones: "The hand is reaching out of the mouth", meaning that a man wants smth badly, or sees smth tasty to eat. Or this one "To drop the eye drops from the second floor", means to do smth useless. That is so funny.
