I can’t come up with a single good reason for placing chalk face side down on a pool table rail. Apparently you’ve come
up with good reasons for doing it. I can elaborate why placing the chalk face up makes sense but can’t conjure up any
justification for placing chalk face side down. Perhaps you can enlighten me and other readers how or why it’s good?
Put on a nice shirt. Then lean across chalk face side up and stretch a bit to reach a shot. Now you can tell me and the rest of us why placing the chalk face down can be good!
I bought a gross of Master chalk, seventeen cents a piece back then. I threw a couple of pieces of chalk in every vehicle for emergencies just like carrying a cue ball or two in my main vehicle.
When I had strayed off for a couple hours I would carefully use the top of the chalk to mark my t-shirt down by the belt line. My wife would greet me with a kind smile as she heated my supper, "Where the hell have you been??" Damn, that ain't a smile, she is baring her teeth ready to strike."
I would look at her kinda sad and apologetically, "Girl, I have to admit I have been making mad passionate love to a beautiful blond for hours!"
"Ha, in your dreams! I see those chalk marks on your shirt. You have been down at the pool hall with those other bums!"
"Damn girl, I can't get anything past you!"
That there is why you carry chalk in your vehicle and rub the face side into the shirt so she instantly identifies a chalk mark. If you can't be good, be smart.
