For Sale: Authentic Piece of Cursed Rice
It is not everyday that you can actually purchase a piece of Cursed Rice and live to tell the tail. This guy has just long enough to try and unload it to anyone that will take it.
Ok, so here’s the story. My wife and I were on vacation in China when she decided that she wanted to go and see all of the street vendors. Even though I wasn’t really interested, I decided to go anyway. We didn’t see anything that we liked until we walked by a tiny stand where a man was writing Chinese Symbols on grains of rice. Since my wife seemed to really want one, I decided to buy one for her. When the man asked her what she wanted written on the rice, she decided that she wanted to have the Chinese Symbol for luck on it, since lately our jobs and lives have been very hard. I agreed and the man went to work. As soon as he was done, he put the rice in a bag and told us to be very careful, since touching the rice can cause the ink to smear. My wife wasn’t paying much attention, as she was too interested in what we just bought.
Everything on our vacation had been going great, until my wife accidentally rubbed the rice with her fingers and the writing smeared a little. I jokingly told her that maybe now we just lost all our luck. I REALLY WISH I HADN’T SAID THAT!!!!
Since then, my computer has crashed 5 times, our city has been hit by 3 hurricanes (Lakeland, Florida), my 80 year old mother has fallen and broken her leg, and we both seem to have gotten horrible alergies year round. Also, what is really weird is that the rice keeps getting lost and then turning up in different places.
When I showed the rice to one of my Asian friends, he said the words on the rice looked more like the symbol for bad luck instead of good. I don’t know, since I can’t read Chinese. Still, I decided to look about it on the internet. I came to a sight that said that things like this have happened in the past, and the only way to get rid of all the bad luck is to get rid of the rice. This is why I’m selling it on Ebay.

Why don’t you just “lose” the rice somewhere? I mean, come on! It’s an f-ing piece of rice! What’s up with someone paying to have one grain of rice mailed to them? If I am paying 41 cents to get a grain of rice that is going to make my hair fall out and cause blizzards in an otherwise balmy climate, I’m going to need a little incentive. How about a handful of bad luck rice? At least then I could burrow them in the pockets of my enemies, and watch with glee while their lives turned to crap. Speaking of crap, there is a blanket fort up for bids on Craigslist that I have my eye on. After I get that rice, I could just wall myself up in the protection of that blanket fort, so nothing could ever happen to me. If the rice really is bad luck, I guess the blankets would be full of smallpox and polio. This guy is going to kill me with his raggedy- ass rice and polio blankets.
