Who Has The Ball's

[RJMasters]

In that picture...is the guy missing some fingers? It just looks strange to me.

The ring finger is hidden beind the pinky...but the way the hand is angled does make it appear a bit funny. Beside their sexual use, they are a great tool for developing strength in the hand and cordination, all decent magician know how to use them and practice withem constantly to keep their hands nible and quick.

Y'all just reminded me of a very funny story

My former employer (AKA the asshat) came into work one day, saying he'd gone into this Chinese Emporium place a mile or so down the road that has had a "going out of business" sign in the window since 2001. He wandered around, and didn't really see anything he wanted, but there were sets of ben wah balls near the register. So he asks the Asian woman who ownes the place what they're for and she tells him they're for strengthening muscles. Well, as he told the story he felt sorry for them with business being so bad, and the set of balls was only a few bucks, so he decided to buy a pair... except there were 2 sizes, and he didn't know which to get. So he says he asked her what size he needed, and she looks at his hands and says "You have big hands, you have big balls." He buys them, comes back to the bookshop, and spends all day long repeating this story, thinking the funniest thing on the planet is "You have big hands, you have big balls."

I couldn't quite figure out how to delicately explain to him that there are... alternative... uses for ben wah balls, that have nothing to do with improving your hands, and that he was kinda looking like an idiot. So I kept my mouth shut.

Until my Friend (who arranged for me to get the job, and at the time was also friends with my employer) called.

And my former employer starts telling the ben wah ball story.

So I'm listening to the boss tell the story (balls in hand), and suddenly he stops. And says "Really. You're kidding. They go where?", gets this look of absolute horror on his face, and quickly puts the balls in a drawer at the check out counter.

I tried so hard not to laugh. I really did. As I went racing to the bathroom, trying to stifle myself, I heard him saying into the phone "Something tells me M___ already knows what these things are used for..."

(Yes I apologized for laughing, and explained that I stayed silent because I couldn't figure out how to explain the use of ban wah balls, without it creating a very uncomfortable situation.)

[doesn'tmention] bunny slippers [/doesn'tmention]

For the non-mentionig of such blasphemy...you should be put into the town's square in stocks bound at the neck and wirsts for three days and three nights during the full moon. Where werewolves in bunny slippers might cause your face to be crimson in the partaking of devilish desires as they feed upon your flesh and soul.

Let all take warning of the screams you hear in the night and guard your souls by not talking of saced things as domly footware.

Hey now! I wear bunnie slippers when I'm not wearin' my Eeyore slippers.

That's too funny. I work with a guy who has 2 sets on his desk, different sizes. He twirls them in his hand when he's on the phone. Every time I see them it takes an incredible amount of will power not to say anything. He had a very long, serious discussion with the other guys in our office about how great they are for his hands. And I know that they are great for that, but that's beside the point. It was just funny watching this guy, who just turned 50, explaining to these two 30something guys why they should go out and get their own pair of balls. Made me wonder if any of them know of 'alternative' uses for them.


Edited: Oh, and btw RJ, I'm with the other very hot av groupies. Much better than the last one, IMHO.

More redundant information by Rebecca...........

I have a pair just like those....my sister lives in japan and got them for me for a x-mas present thinking they were for developing hand coordination and strength....imagine the look on my face when I opened them in front of the family...it was an interesting and akward moment when my littlest daughter asked me what they were for

Mine doesn't have the ying yang symbols on them though....but they do make a great sound when twirled just right and the ding and vibration are pretty cool when they clank together.

Your sister was correct they are used for health reasons.The origins however are in the Ming Dynasty , Buddhism and Martial Art training . There are acupressure points in the hands that in chinese medicine correlate with vital organs in the body. The addition on feng shui imagery in ying yang and the harmonious high and low notes also representing male and female are enhancements. Its considered a very accomplished skill to move a pair fluidly around in your hand clock wise then anti clockwise without them touching . More so to be able to do so using both hands simultaneously ( using 2 pairs ).

Interestingly when they became 'pervertibles' some people found themselves at high risk when lead still used to weight the balls manufactured in China was transfering inside the body.

I own a pair and have only used them as a tactile focus point for meditation. Which I am disgustingly out of the habit of participating in. Great ......adds to the list.

'Clanking' RJ with respect is a no-no very bad feng shui dude

I was told, once, that they were good for arthritis in the hands. The problem for me is they don't make em small enough. I literally have hands the size of a 8 or nine year olds (my 7 year olds hands are the same size as mine), one of their small balls is the most I can manage.

I haven't yet found a pair small enough for my hands, either. (My 11yo has larger hands than I do.) If you happen to come across some small enough, I'd love to know where you find them.

Oh, gosh. Now that song is stuck in my head and it's only 8:30 in the morning. Quick, someone play something else . . .

 

[Ebonyfire]

Song: Salty Chocolate Balls

Say everybody have you seen my balls they're big and salty and brown.
If you ever need a quick pick me up, just stick my balls in your mouth.
Oh! Suck on my chocolate salty balls, put 'em in your mouth and suck 'em.
Suck on my chocolate salty balls, they're packed vitamins,
and good for you, so suck on balls.

Serious question (continuing the hijack, but still...)

Rebecca - if the balls help with arthritis, would they help with RSI/carpel tunnel issues, as well? The down side of spending most of the day typing and editing in Photoshop, is that my hands/wrists are not happy with me... even moreso than usual.
