I saw this posted on the wall at AVE. Athough my Japanese reading skills are weak I have deduced that if you are having a heart attack then it is OK to call 119 but if you are drunk then you should not call.

I spoke with my wife, and basically she said that "119" is for emergencies only. Japan has a problem which people calling "119" which is not an emergency, and to only call when there is a real emergency.

The top words say "HELP WITH YOUR HANDS"..

The picture is showing someone performing CPR, and the information below has class information and class contact information for those interested in learning CPR.

An ad for CPR classes? I wouldn't have guess that one. Thanks, Adam. I'm usually amused at the pictures on the ads and posters I see around town. It's funny they use a drunk guy as the example of a non-emergency.
