Eerie Eastern Ears.

Now I know why Japanese lady ghosts always have long hair that’s so straggly you can’t ignore it. It’s there to hide the ears.

You see, it’s popularly supposed that the main difference between Europeans and East Asians is the eyes. It isn’t. It’s the ears. I’ve watched a lot of Japanese horror stories recently, so I know what I’m talking about. Japanese women have big ears. If their lady ghosts had short hair, we’d all be going ‘Yo! Look at the lugs on that!’ And then they wouldn’t be scary, and that wouldn’t do.

So now you know.
