The Survey
THE SURVEY
A Ranma 1/2 spamfic by June "KaraOhki" Geraci
June 9, 2006
This story was inspired by a series of submissions on the FFML about Ranma's attitude towards eating ice cream when male, and by an online survey I took during the same time period. It appears, according to the research someone did, that some Japanese men actually are hesitant to be seen eating ice cream in public. As far as the survey is concerned, the question Ranma will answer is the one I answered, and I found the wording of the question bizarre, to say the least.
Ranma 1/2 and its characters were created by Rumiko Takahaski, and are being borrowed, very briefly, for this not-for-profit story.

"Are you all set, Ranma?"
Despite looking very uncomfortable sitting at a computer terminal, Ranma nodded. "I guess so."
Nabiki stuffed a wad of bills into her pants pocket and grinned. "Ok then, have fun!"
"Fun," groused Ranma, as Nabiki's door closed behind her. "What kind of fun is having to pay to do your homework? Stupid teacher, stupid survey."

"Welcome to the What Japan Eats Survey." Click the blue arrow to begin."
Ranma clicked the arrow, and stared at the first question. "What is your sex, currently?" There was a box for male, and a box for female.
After carefully patting his chest to verify, Ranma clicked "male".
SPLASH!!
"Sweeto!!"
CRUNCH!
Onna-Ranma sighed, brushed dripping bangs out of her eyes, and stared suspiciously at the computer.
"They better not ask me about ice cream."
-----------------
Yes, the survey did ask me about my "current" sex. Who the heck wrote that one?
