This is a great thread, I like to catch up on it after each turn.

One pocket is so slow, payouts are adjusted for inflation.

One pocket is so slow, barking is done by registered mail.

Some old guys at our poolroom play one-pocket. Play is so slow, they all carry a couple changes of underwear.

One pocket is so slow you bring a second pair of shoes in case you outgrow them.

One pocket is so slow players are required to wear a MedicAlert bracelet.

One pocket is so slow that when you cut a ball, you must factor in throw, skid, and erosion.

One pocket is so slow....
...a man elected to play a ball in....3 Presidents got elected first...
...the 3rd President was a Conservative...so he elected to play safe after-all.

And don't blame it on Bush...the President was Regan.

Slow, Schmo

Not being a 1P player, I'm not sure why these jokes just jumped into my mind yesterday. But here they are... Please add any of yours.

One Pocket is so slow....

...One time, I air-barreled $500 on a 1P game...

...I lost but could cover the bet because by then my Social Security had kicked-in!

Perhaps because they have difficulty comprehending a game that lasts more than a minute or two and doesn"t allow for banging all the pretty colored balls allover the table, seems many speedballers avoid the more difficult game of one pocket in favor of the far simpler games, claiming a need for speed.

I wonder if they ever notice that almost all the great players eventually evolve to include one pocket in thier dossier, if not adopt one pocket as their choice of games.

:D

FTR while I am not a big fan of one pocket I do acknowledge the skill involved and respect the game however...

One pocket is so slow by the time the game is over science and technology would have advanced so much you could literally hit a ball at warp speed. #gradyism

That Uranium is no longer radioactive.

Carmakers are already introducing the new model year

The coin slot-needs to be wire-brushed before you can start a new game.

Hell froze over before the match ended.

Justin Beeber got an AARP card.

I like the game, but can only tolerate it with a few ppl that know how to play,......... and even then :boring:

Seriously, itsa good game most of the time. :smile:

Hey bro, sorry for the confusion, this is actually the thread for people with a sense of humor about it! I can totally see how you might mistake it for the thread where we take slowness complaints dead serious and try to address them and defend 1p. That thread is like right next door to this one.

You must not be able to play 1P, or it wouldn't be so slow if you knew what you were doing.
And I never heard any of the saying your saying.--Smitty

Having been around Grady quite a few times, one thing I noticed about one pocket is if you are playing one pocket fast:
1) Your opponent is not playing correctly and leaving you an out.
Or
2) You are not playing correctly and leaving your opponent an out.

1P is so slow it takes a long time to finish a game, but not as long as it takes to explain the superiority of it.
