I Guess The Problems Are Not Technical Tokyo's TOPIX opens below 1,000 on Wall St, yen (Updates to open) TOKYO, June 24 (Reuters) - Tokyo stocks sank at the opening on Monday, sending the TOPIX index below a major psychological support of 1,000 points for the first time in four months. Blue-chip exporters such as Sony Corp (Tokyo:6758.T - News) took a beating after another tumble on Wall Street and a rise in the yen against the dollar made investors leery of buying. The capital-weighted TOPIX index (^TOPX - News) of all first-section issues opened at 993.64, down 0.87 percent from the previous close and the lowest level since February 28. The benchmark Nikkei average (^N225 - News) was down 109.44 points or 1.06 percent at 10,244.91. "It's not just the weakness in U.S. stocks this time. The dollar is falling (against major currencies) at the same time, and money is flowing out of the U.S.," said Norihiro Fujito, senior strategist at Kokusai Securities. A soft dollar eats into exporters' overseas earnings when repatriated into the Japanese currency. Consumer electronics giant Sony slumped 1.66 percent to 5,920 yen, falling below 6,000 yen for the first time since February 18. Toyota Motor Corp (Tokyo:7203.T - News), Japan's biggest automaker, lost 1.64 percent to 3,000 yen.

: The Frog A man takes the day off work and decides to go out golfing. He is on the second hole when he notices a frog sitting next to the green. He thinks nothing of it and is about to shoot when he hears, Ribbit 9 Iron." The man looks around and doesn't see anyone. Again, he hears, "Ribbit 9 Iron." He looks at the frog and decides to prove the frog wrong, puts the club away, and grabs a 9 iron. Boom! He hits it 10 inches from the cup. He is shocked. He says to the frog, "Wow that's amazing. You must be a lucky frog, eh? The frog replies, "Ribbit Lucky frog." The man decides to take the frog with him to the next hole. "What do you think frog?" the man asks. "Ribbit 3 wood." The guy takes out a 3 wood and, Boom! Hole in one. The man is befuddled and doesn't know what to say. By the end of the day, the man golfed the best game of golf in his life and asks the frog, "OK where to next?" The frog replies, "Ribbit Las Vegas. " They go to Las Vegas and the guy says, "OK frog, now what?" The frog says, "Ribbit Roulette." Upon approaching the roulette table, The man asks, "What do you think I should bet?" The frog replies, "Ribbit $3000, black 6." Now, this is a million-to-one shot to win, but after the golf game the man figures what the heck. Boom! Tons of cash comes sliding back across the table. The man takes his winnings and buys the best room in the hotel. He sits the frog down and says, "Frog, I don't know how to repay you. You've won me all this money and I am forever grateful." The frog replies, "Ribbit Kiss Me." He figures why not, since after all the frog did for him, he deserves it. With a kiss, the frog turns into a gorgeous 15-year-old girl. "And that, your honor, is how the girl ended up in my room. So help me God or my name is not William Jefferson Clinton."
