Funnies/Sadist thing you ever say in a Pool Room

Yeah, and did he mean 'funnies' or 'funniest' ? The funnies are in the newspaper.

My reply above was based on "funnies", "sadist" and "SAY."

If he'd written, "Funniest/saddest thing you ever SAW in a Pool Room", I'd have probably just skipped over his post as I have done for years. I guess that I'll just put PoolSleuth/Cocobolo Cowboy back on Ignore where he belongs.

Well, I also caught the Funnies/Funniest spelling, but decided to ignore that one, as it's almost the same, either way. Except for the newspaper stuff. Funnies happen around here on a regular basis, but they're not in print. :)

I'm sure he appreciates the holes in the jar lid.
 
One of the funniest things said to me by a very respected pool player who was older and ornery was when i was playing one of the best players in my area and i was getting out very nicely.He says to everyone "Maybe we should take this kid on the road.",i then proceed to miss an easy shot and he replies to my miss with "We wont need much gas though." :D

I have seen some sexual stuff in poolhalls,bathroom hotels where the guy is real classy and takes her in the john.Another lady is drunk and proceeds to toot her mans horn in a packed pool room. :)
 
One of the funniest stories I have ever heard was when Danny Greer went into a poolroom in S.C. and told the owner that he had a Meucci for sale. The owner gave him like $300 bucks for it. Danny knew the owner was a "go off" on the table so Danny then said to the guy "Well, I got a little cash to play you a few sets now if you want" the owner said "sure". Danny said "well, can I use my cue I just sold you to play with?" the owner again said "sure". So basically the owner staked Danny to play against him. And Danny ended up winning about $1500 I think it was. One born every minute I guess.

Did he buy the Meucci back?
 
This is one at my expense. I got reeeeeeaaal drunk and I decided to play in my boxers. In my mind I thought it wasn't a big deal cause it was hot. Of course a friend of mine hid my pants. After a few hours he gave them back. This was all retold to me the following day cause I barely remembered anything
 
I sat up a game with a poolroom owner in Johnson City, TN. We played twenty a game until I had him stuck about $160. He ran out perfect until he got to the eight and miscued. He shattered his Joss. He said "I'll be right back." The guy goes home and brings back a Meucci. "Rack'em up and bet forty." I win about another $240, and he shattered the Meucci. "I'll be back." He shows up with another Meucci, with the sticker still on it. We lowered the bet to twenty. I get up about another $80, and he pulls it back to throw it like a spear. Stops. Grabs one off the wall, walks outside and shattered it. After he walked back in, he says, "I'm done. Thought I was gonna break another one? I'm not stupid." I thought I was gonna die trying to hold it in.

When you get older you will understand the joke about the sound of an Ambulance, and a house being put up for sale.

Well, actually just earlier today I was giving a lesson to a rank beginner who happens to be a guy who likes guys. :) I was showing him how to make a closed bridge when he said his hands were a bit clammy. I said that in the future maybe he could try wearing a glove to see how he liked it.

He said, "I thought about using a glove but I really didn't think I was good enough to wear one."

I said, "I don't wear one because most people think they are gay."

Oops....

Absurdity & Ineptitude

In my younger days...playin' one of the old schoolers. I was getting one of those "expensive" lessons. I finally got back up to the table and tried a real thin cut. Wound up just turning the cue ball loose. It races around the table, coming off four rails and about as many balls, and winds up knocking the object ball in the pocket I called.
The old timer never missed a beat,

"Not many people know that shot".:rolleyes:

I have used the line many times since.
 
A few years ago here in Augusta, Bubba Eubanks was playing someone some $500 sets, spotting the other guy the 7 ball. Now, Bubba has a pretty quick, and violent temper. Bubba had been getting some pretty god awful rolls and was stuck a few games in the set. Of course he's getting more and more heated as it goes, cursing, slapping himself on his bald head, ECT... Well, he ends up scratching on a difficult 8 ball, leaving BIH on the 9. He swipes the table, grabs the CB, and from the foot rail, throws it pretty hard, like a baseball, down table. The CB hits the head rail perfectly and rebounds back and hits Bubba square in the forehead, busting him wide open. He was still cussing, patched it up and ended up winning the set. One of the funniest things I've ever seen in a pool hall.

Bubba Eubanks? The host of the Newlywed Game? Didn't know he played pool:rolleyes: Reminds me of a friend of mine that was going to show us by the pool table he could do pushups and clap his hands in between, drunk of course. He clapped his hands, just forgot to put 'em back out and hit the floor with his chin.:eek:
 
I've seen some funny things in the pool room, but nothing to top the stories that have been reported in various threads about road players like Jack Hines--of course, there's plenty of sad stuff in that thread as well.

Without a doubt the saddest thing I've seen happened during APA league one night a few years back in New Orleans. We were in the middle of a match with another team from our home bar, having a great time, lots of laughs and friendly banter. As one of my players was racking the balls after a loss, I patted him on the shoulder for encouragement and headed for the John. I'm no sooner in the can and I hear a loud crash. I rushed back out to see my old teammate lying on the ground. He literally fell over dead as he replaced the rack in the table. Sadly, his wife was sitting at the bar watching with the rest of the team. Paramedics eventually showed up, but they eaid he was probably dead before he hit the floor of an aortic aneurism.

Won't forget that night any time soon.
