The story of "You no swatta"


          One hot summer evening, we were hanging around the
     shop's ever-so-slightly-cooler front office--trying not to
     stir any more than absolutely necessary.

          A particularly annoying fly caught D's attention and he
     proceded to stalk it throughout the building. (See Fly-Hunt)

          It landed on Loginski (pronounced with a soft G).  D
     drew back the fly-swatter to take a swing.

          Startled by the impending insult to his bit of peace
     and quiet, Loginski raised his arms in a protective gesture.

          Then, with a curious combination of surprise and
     irritation he sputtered "No swat Honda-Boy" in a way that
     sounded vaguely like a mock-asian accent.

          This  broke the stupor of the evening with an onslaught
     of pee-in-your-pants laughter.

          By the next day, his outcry had been repeated so many
     times by that it evolved into "You no swatta Honda-Boy"
     and became the shop slogan.
