They Glow in the Dark as Well
FOUND by Hamda in Dubai, UAE
I found this in between the door and the hallway of the boys' toilet at my high school.

It's too early in the morning, I dare not comment on this find except to say: Let the games begin!

Glow-in-the-dark Ben Wa Balls that keep on bouncing all night definitely should impress the ladies.

Incidently, everything written in Comic Sans belongs burned on the stake. Just for sanity's sake.

I honestly don't want to know what the original writer was writing about. And typed out rather than handwritten? Someone throw a wooden shoe, please.

There are so many things to be said, so I'll focus on one of the more absurd points, and you can do with that what you will...

Apparently the word "moist" is one of the most hated words in the English language.

Talk amongst yourselves.

Is it even allowed to impress the ladies with moist, glowing, bouncing balls during night in the UAE?

Mona,

I, like you, have no objection to the word.

However, there are whole site dedicated to the venting of hatred toward the word. Just google "hated word moist".

I would not have known except I heard this little curiousity on NPR's "Wait Wait don't tell me"

@ Feeling ... are you sure that's not just because people can't spell the word "most"?

i've heard about that, feeling.. and never understood why.

Moist is just such a nice, descriptive word. It kind of evokes the feeling of the word...its such a slippery word, ending in a sort of lispy, yet definite way. mmmmmmmmmmmmmoissssssssstttt

I agree. It starts right off with a "yummy" sort of sound. MMMMMMMMM!

Some of my fondest memories are connected with moistness.

@ Librarian.

I will not criticize people's spelling. Mine is atrocious. Thank God for spell-check. However in this note, the author is writing about "moistened balls", so I'm pretty sure there is no misunderstood spelling in this case.

@ Feeling ... You're right about that, naturally. I was thinking about googling the phrase "hated word moist" or "hated word most". Haven't done the research, so I'm wondering what the differenec would be in the results.

Nobody likes schwetty balls. This sounds like a glow in the dark tea-bagging kit.

I hate when I leave my Schwetty ball on the stove and they get misshapen...

HPD: If you keep your balls in a Schwetty ballsack, they won't become misshapen.
