Ping pong was originally founded in the quiet, and illusive town of Ding Dang. The white ping pong ball used to be purple in honor of their state fish, Ling Lang. In 1862, Fung Shwe came to Ding Dang and declared the purple ball to tough to see during long tournaments. Thus, Ling Lang demanded the ball become white, opposite to the night! Also, Ling Lang said that once the person loses the match, they must sit on the paddle and poop pancakes for the next month. This was the story of Ding Dang. RIP Ling Lang
