Default Baoding balls, my relief from arthuritus..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baoding_Balls
http://www.baodingballs.com/

Been pretty rough on my body. These seem to help somewhat with the joint swelling in my hands.

My dog, He goes nuts when I start twirling them in my hands, he wants them rubbed on him, I guess the ringing of the bells tingle his rough pitt bulldog hide.

HE GOT HIS ASS WHIPPED, by the way, a brown pincher bug got into the house, he was lunging at it, it turned on him, ran up his leg and when I rolled him over it to help was pinched in tight in his front armpit.. He wasn't yelping, but he sure looked confused. He's a big puss, I love him anyways.

(just found this.. no, I can't do it.. )

David:

See the movie 'Mr.Roberts' with Fonda and Cagney, usually shown at high dollar business/psychological schooling presentations. Remember those two steelies Cagney continued to roll in his hand when things were not exactly going his way?

I think that was Queeg (Humphrey Bogart) in The Caine Mutiny.

Default Balls

Thanks Guido.

I used Google and Wikipedia looking for that - I had the "Mr. Roberts" and "Captain Queeg" OK but that was as far as I got.

David - Irish joke (which I've posted before).
Q.
What you you have if you had two small balls in your hand?

A.
The undivided attention of a Leprechaun.

Another.

A better mechanical mouse trap? A ball-bearing rat-catcher?

Yep - a tom cat.



Keep them balls movin' Cap'n.
