It was supposed to be “rice balls.” What a difference a word makes!

    LOL I can’t believe I came across all these funny english stories just now!

    AlastairS: I was cracking up so hard when you said the conservative girl ran out crying!

    Cynthia: Oh boy, “Fall into the water carefully” -> That’s funny.

    Brice: At first I did not get what “In case of monkeys are in the forest, you can not find them” means. I mean I was like “What?”

    Then I literally translated into Japanese. I think it meant “You won’t be able to see the monkeys that live in the forest.”

    (Is this spam?)
