Right, I’m a carpenter, and sometimes I want to say “that’s joseki” when talking to clients about standard building practices.

A remark overheard one clear morning: ‘I’m going to follow my joseki and take the dog out for a walk.’ A conversation overheard in a crowd of people leaving a theater: ‘Everything was arranged to bring about a happy ending.’ ‘Yes, just like a joseki, but it was still interesting.’ A television sportscaster describing a baseball game: ‘Here the joseki would be to bunt the runner up to second and hope the next batter drives him home, but let’s see what they do’
