Nugget of Joy
Perpetually wanky, my JET Japanese Language Course book offers the following dialogue. 

Depato de
Kinoshita: Patorikku-san, nekutai wa ik-kai arimasu.
Patorikku: So desu ka.  Tebukuro wa doko desu ka?
Kinoshita: Tebukuro mo ik-kai desu.
Patorikku: Wakarimashita.  Omikoshi wa doko ni arimasu ka?
Kinoshita: Omikoshi, ...desu ka?
Patorikku: E.  Omikoshi desu.
Kinoshita: Omikoshi wa koko ni wa arimasen.



At a department store
Kinoshita: Patrick, neckties are sold on the first floor.
Patrick: OK.  Where are the gloves?
Kinoshita: The gloves are also on the first floor.
Patrick: All right.  Where is the "omikoshi"?
Kinoshita: "Omikoshi"?
Patrick: Yes, a portable Shinto shrine.
Kinoshita: There are no "omikoshi" here.
