I'm not sure how I should feel about that cue.

 

[Jeff]

I guess it would be nice to have as a piece of history. Sure don't know what it is worth but it looks in pretty good condition for as old as it is.

Here lies a man named Frankie Ives,
Who played the rails with too many wives,

It seems in each town he had at least two,
and so he carried a duplicate cue!

If his wife Number One entered the hall,
He would use stick One to strike at the ball,

If wife Number Two then came into view,
he would simply change table and use cue Number Two!


He played the game well and paid up his dues,
Until wife Number One saw too many cues.

So here lies the man named Frankie Ives,
Killed with a cue by his duplicate wives!

I made it up.

 

[BillYards]

Outstanding bit of writing, that! Hahaha! I was wondering what 'Duplicate' meant. Now I know!

 

[BillYards]

Oh, yeah, that screw looks like it has been dipped in battery acid or something...

 

[Michael Webb]

I made it up.

Nicely done. Tap, Tap.

I'd like a better view of the shaft and the joint, to me it looks like the screw/pin may have been in the shaft and has since been stripped out, the butt end may be the female.

I hate top say it but I actually only floundered around in a small college for 2 years and dropped out to get into the business world. I would have failed out anyway I'm sure.

I like to brag about my wife and daughter since I can't brag about my own academic career. My wife is a USC grad. Actually she's brilliant, sweeping high school and USC with straight A's and getting just about every award there was. Our daughter has taken after her academically and the two of them put me to shame.
