Table tennis was invented in England in the 19th century. Ping Pong
was Parker Brothers US Trademark for their set with celluloid balls.
I suspect table tennis was introduced to China by the YMCA or some
other missionary society.

In what movie did a dim blonde tell a story about someone stepping on
a ping pong ball?


You've got me stumped - which movie was it?

Hugs,

I think "Goodbye, Columbus" but I'm not 100% sure.


It's told by "Gloria Upson" in the movie "Auntie Mame."

Again, I may be wrong, probably am in fact, but I thought the
inspiration for "our" invention of TT came from the Eastern reaches of
our then Empire.
Just maybe.
