I'm gonna call my teacher on Monday and ask why I got such a low grade. I thought the thing was excellent.

Haha - thought the same thing! That's why I got suspended. Hmm

Too exciting for this thread.

Synopsis of the Healthy Ball

Being a traditional product of Baoding City, the Healthy Ball is famous throughout China and all over the world. This history of the Ball can be traced back as early as the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 AD) when it first Came out.

Solid at the beginning, it was used to build up physical strength and limber up the joints, as well as a tool for self-defence. It remained solid until the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911 AD), when it was fashioned into a hollow one with a soundboard inside. Since then, the Ball has been handed down to now and known as "Double Balls of Roaring Dragon and Singing Phoenix", for two balls are usually played together and sound different tones.

When the Healthy Ball came out, it was used to improve physical conditions and mould temperament, and enjoyed wider and wider popularity among the people market. Later on, universally acknowledged by the medical circle, it has been used as a medical appliance, and can be played at any time and any place.

The Ball has the functions of stimulating the circulation of the blood and relaxing muscles and joints. It is also used for the prevention and cure of the numbness and trembling of hands, the arthritis in fingers and wrists, and hypertension etc. With beautiful sound and the function of noise elimination, the Ball can adjust the nerve centre, benefit the brain, improve the faculty of memory, help get over mental fatigue and prolong people's life.

Steel balls aren't dull though. They are shiny.

[pop_54]

No

Hope you didn't pull your back out with that one, Pop. Strenuous I know...they wear me out too.

Can't say I've ever had any trouble with my balls at the airport, they tingle a bit on take off, you know as the plane lurches into the air.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

She stares at me. Glares at me. Does she really think we're gonna go to sleep before the end of "The Full Monty"?

That doesn't even compare to the shake, rattle and roll I was hoping for but my balls never made it past security. Woe is me.

Darling you should have been with me on my first solo flight, you wouldn't have needed balls, well you might have, to be silly enough to get in the bloody thing with me in the first place.

Those I have and amazingly enough, they don't set off airport security.
