「Same grade, ranking, classification and rolling with an orifice or flesh seam」is what gave rise to this sage advice from antiquity, and sages from Chicago:「Youse pays yer money, youse takes yer chances」[sic].
　Scholars say this is apparently a small「bamboo」device used both as a gambling CHIP, or a TOKEN substituted for cash while playing and for counting the score. Alternatively, as「bamboo two-handed masturbation」GAMBLING TOKENS in a squeezing grip may contain a commentary of the virtues, or lack thereof, of gambling as a means of killing time, and of the stuff simply changing hands back and forth among buddies. Elements as「head down, prone and streaming」as if kowtowing (bowing over as does「bamboo」) with all sorts of squeezing grips used on various orifices.
　Furthermore, per some dubious sources, these CHIPS were also used to wipe residual feces with a squeezing grip from one's bunghole after defecating, with the smoothly finished surface of the oldest, worn chips providing the most satisfactory results without nicks and scratches.「Bamboo with a lifelong activity」but not while gambling hopefully…which is to say that no one likes to play with sticky chips. Perhaps the origin of the English expression「dirty money」(why throw the chips away?). Rumored as the source for the invention of flavor-enhanced, salty「finger foods」while playing board and card games. Insufficient data exists to establish any link with a chips-and-dip theme.
　Without a doubt, the Irish also have knowledge of their own to pass along in these trying times:「Masturbation will not spread coronavirus, especially if you wash your hands (and any sex toys) with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after.」Nonetheless and regrettably, unlike in dynastic China, it must be undertaken alone to truly be a preventative countermeasure but still achieve the desired result with some degree of safety.

　The Dutch, too have the same solution—it seems masturbation has become mainstream in the media the world over due to the coronavirus (it has always been 'the main stream' in reality, albeit covertly for most folks):
　「'Don't have sex with your partner if they have been isolated because of (suspected) coronavirus infection,' the RVIM says. 'Sex with yourself or with others at a distance is possible (think of telling erotic stories, masturbating together).'」

　Needless to point out perhaps, but Chinese shamans from antiquity hit upon the same solution as a pandemic preventative countermeasure, honed for ultimate client satisfaction by utilizing naked females with no-longer-integrated feet as masturbatory sex buddies available for short-term rental with erotic visualization of live prepubescent female genitalia engaging in autoerotic stimulation herself, as a solution to the same problem facing us now, but in pre-Internet days.
