I was in college when this happened.

1986 at Happy's poolroom. Let's start off by saying I didn't come from money, so all money in college was sacred.

I was in the poolroom watching Lenny and Curt (Or Kirk) play a race to seven for twenty. They put the money on the light. Well, mid way in the race, Curt's wife comes in raising hell. She runs over and starts chucking balls at Curt. Lenny made a break for it. He then runs back over and grabs his money off the light. Well, Curt left his two tens on the light. After the commotion died down, I noticed the twenty still on the light. I grabbed it. I truly thought I would see Curt again. I knew if most of the other crew got it, he'd never see it again.

Well, I never saw him again. I have your twenty, Curt. Whew, I feel better, now. I mean, I spent it in college. But, I can pay you back now. If anyone knows Curt from Greenville NC, I'm being very serious about this.

Put the money in a donation plate at a church and write "In Memory of Curt". That would be a good gesture.

Thanks, I didn't even think of that. I will say that every time I see a mad wife throwing pool balls, I feel a touch of guilt. I'm so glad I brought this out in the open. Great idea, if I can rep you, I will.
 
So, Crawfish, you also did time at Happy's? I spent four years in there and loved it. My time was done during the late 60's and they had the best greasy-cheesburger grille in the world there at the time. And the Rathskeller was just up the street. Man, Greenville was great there for a while. Playboy had ECC listed as one of the top ten party schools in the country and the police didn't care what you did as long as you didn't wake them up or spill their doughnuts.

I was there in the eighties. Yes, I had the full experience. I once showed my fake id to a cop to get into a bar (It was my cousin, and said I was 26. Expired for 8 years) He said, "Anybody with the balls to even show me that, deserves to get in. Go on."
 
I say keep it!

we all know that Curt would have won his match, but then lost the 20 to you in the next match, so what you really did was just to let him save the trouble of losing to you.

I would go as far as saying that you handled it like a true gentleman! Rep to you!
 
Man, it's been a long time! It's me cort! I almost forgot about that twenty,but what good timing. I could use it! Please paypal it!


Thanks, John
 
Guess my ol' friend Mike S owes a few twenties

The fight and the money reminds me of another fight years ago over something that happened on a pool table in a bar. I wasn't directly involved, just a bystander as was my friend Mike. Neither of the two guys knew how to fight and were going at it like two girls often do. One ripped the other ones shirt pocket off and twenties flew everywhere!

They were clawing and scratching and taking roundhouse swings at each other so there just wasn't any safe way to get to the twenties. However Mike was long legged at six four or five and was leaning back and reaching way in with just one foot and trying to rake twenties to himself without getting into the middle of the fight. This went on so long that I wedged myself in a corner just to stay on my feet I was laughing so hard watching these two sissy fighting in all of the open space and Mike still pawing around the edges trying to rake in a few twenties.

Never knew what the fight was about or how much Mike scored, just another silly night in the bars. Mike's been gone about ten years now, don't know what happened. I heard about it third hand several months after he died.

WIVES & GIRLFRIENDS IN POOL, GONE CRAZY.

Women have often added lots of color to the pool world and I have seen a scene or two that I would contribute to a new thread.
