Japan names their legislative body after a way to lose weight, the US names theirs after a synonym for sexual intercourse. What implications does this have for US-Japan trade relations?

      I think the third piece of the puzzle is obvious: Britain names theirs after a funk band. This creates the Trilateral Formula:

      I = WF

      where
      I = intercourse
      W = weight loss
      F = the funk

      From this formula, the solution for globalization can be derived.
