I bought these kewl pre-ban ivory earrings on eBay and now before I wear them I want to make sure they don't say "Kill the capitalist oppressor in her sleep" or something like that.

This is the auction photo and she is holding the earrings UPSIDE DOWN, so please stand on your head while doing the translation.

If you want to show them properly right side up so you don't give your fellow Browncoats whiplash,

just put it in the normal paint program that came with your computer, click on Image:> Flip and Rotate:> Flip Vertical: and it should flip those babies right side up. Nice by the way. Very pretty.

Ya, I was just being lazy... I hotlinked from the eBay auction. Here it is in Photobucket, flipped upside down, which is right side up in real life:

They are the traditional Chinese character for "life" or "longevity".

Well, thank you, Steve!!

Life and longevity for me, I guess, not for the elephant that donated the ivory... But I will wear them anyway. Thanks again.
