Joshu was walking with Bunon when he pointed at a piece of land and said, "That's a good place to build a checkpoint."
Bunon went there, stood, and said, "Present your passport!"
Joshu at once slapped him in the face.
Bunon said, "Your passport is all right. Pass!"

My comment
This is a very special kind of case. It carries a particular significance in the cannon. Let's dive in and see what we can find. Can we find something?
In my view, here's what's most interesting about this case: this is the kind of case that, even as we knead the mind in our effort to develop a theory that places it in our framework... there's just no way to do it. Or is there?
The Master and novice were goofing around. And this case was planted in a book somewhere, probably by a prankster... to achieve what?
Anyway, who wants to present their passport?
