      Funny. Is it real? I mean, is this his real name? Or is he just making a joke?

      Tomo: That is definitely one lame, lame ass joke.

      Yeah. The firm that placed this ad is an immigration shop, and there is definitely nobody there named Ben Goshi (although that would be a nice Jewish name, come to think of it—you could easily imagine a Knesset member named David Ben Goshi).

      “No experience nessesary?” Ok, this is a joke, right?

      As a follow-up, I spotted this exact same advertisement in a Japanese expat paper in New York City. So I figure if they paid for the ad, it must not be a joke.
