A guy walks into a bar

[hang-the-9]

Actual conversation between me and a waitress last night at Society Billiards in Manhattan:

ME: Do you know if anyone here plays one pocket?
WAITRESS: No, all of our tables have four pockets.
ME: No, all of your tables have six pockets, but that's not what I was asking.

In addition to a chuckle, Society is a really nice room, with a bunch (16?) of very well maintained Diamonds that aren't too close together. And even though it was 11:00 at night, their cue guy was able to replace my tip, and then play me some one pocket on a table with six pockets. The table time wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, either.

That's great LOL! I wonder if number of pockets on the table would change depending on how much and what you were drinking? Maybe they DO have 4 pockets after 4-5 shots of Jager :wink:

But.. does it beat my clueless overheard in a pool room?

One player to another as they are putting chalk on their tips "wonder what this chalk stuff is for anyway"
Second Player "well, you see how some of it falls on the table? It's to season the cloth so it plays better".
^ True story, overheard that at Country Club USA in MA (closed now)

I think that still stands are the top clueless quote about pool equipment.

I hire beauty not brains, LOVE IT!!! I shoot in the room Donny speaks of, and I agree with the owner (who has a great eye for talent). If I want a game, I will find my own, I do not need the bar maid to help me. The room is Main Street Billiards in downtown Gainesville, Fl. and the bar maids there are worth the trip. I usually tend not to drink when I golf or shoot pool. Except when I am at Main Street, I have a couple beers, just because I want to see the bar maids. Owner, who shall remain nameless, keep up the good work!!!!
