Koohii stories:

2) [Aerin] 10-9-2007(144): Many people are making the shift from white to whole wheat bread.

3) [ivantolearnkanji] 24-12-2007(40): To hide the wheat from the devilish tax (#895 税) collector, the villagers shift the wheat between them many, many times. "We don't have much, sir, but we'll do anything for the crown".

4) [harhol] 12-5-2009(18): I have to work two EVENING shifts a week just to be able to put WHEAT on the table. Damn recession.
