こんにちは、Patrickさん。
「安全太郎」のイナ・バウアーですか。
イナ・バウアーというか、他殺体ですね。

Hahaha... I can not believe how long it took until I found the joke related to "Ina Bauer". I even watched a movie of a skater to find out what Ina Bauer is about. I was looking my eyes out for some real skater because I do not understand the Japanese word anzen-taro. Hahaha.

Haha, sorry to have made you search so much! But I'm glad you found it funny. :) Anzen-taro would translate to something like "Mr. Safety", it's the official name for these construction waving robots that I like to photograph.

Everyone in Japan knows about Ina Bauer now, because of our Olympic gold medalist from this year.

My problem was that I did not recognize Mr. Safety because he is doing that "Ina Bauer". I know that you photogrpah these guys. You might call me Mr. Mole in future :-)

Mr. Mole? Now I'm not one to not get it. :)

In German we say "Blind like a mole" :-)

Seems not to be common outside Germany.

Ah ok, we say that too I guess! But I didn't know you were blind like a mole. :)
