The Laughing Buddha And His Stolen Mo-Jo!

Ever since I got one years ago from my sister-in-law, I've had a thing for Laughing Buddhas (or Hoteis, and I've got 6 or 7 of them in various materials dotted around the place.

There is a belief in folklore that to rub the Buddha's belly brings prosperity, and I do it hoping that I'm going to win the Lottery

However, last night my Buddha was taken advantage of, and his mo-jo stolen!

My brother was along, and he spotted the one in the living room window... "A-ha! Buddha!" he exclaimed, "Rub, rub, rub his belly!"... and he did!

Later on I got a text which said "Hey! Thank Buddha for me... £14 on the lottery!"

Bastard! He stole my prosperity!
