Yesterday I had duty on the ship. That means I have to spend the night. I took my practice poi set (Two tennis balls with rope running through them). After everyone left, I took them to my office. After about 10 minutes, my boss walks in. He asks what they were for. I didn't want to tell him that it was practice for spinning fire, he would have sent me to medical for a psych evaluation. So, I told him it was a martial arts kata practice tool. He seemed to understand. Then, he grabs my practice pois and starts trying to spin them. He got really close to doing a weave...

eek eek eek

...right before he smacked himself in the nuts really hard. I could tell that he was trying to play it off and that he had really hurt himself. I was able to hold in my laughter until he left the room, then I hurt myself laughing...

it always brightens my day when a guy asks to borrow my poi and straitaway smacks himself in the groin. i know i shouldn't, but it's incredably funny

LOL I know what you mean about my the nut whack man. The first time my bf picked up my poi he did that after a few minutes. When my roomate Thomas came home that afternoon and saw me spinning he asked if he could try so I let him. As my bf was in the process of telling him what happened earlier...he did the same thing.

Yes I'm soooo glad I'm not a boy!

How do i make a practice poi? I tried using rice a bag, sock, and some hemp cause i didn't have an old pair of shoe lace but it's a little to heavy and not accurate you can say.
