By far, the funniest line I heard came from our own Freddie The Beard. Later that night after the banks finals, Freddie and Billy Incardona are in the hallway debating Efren's shot selection at the end of the match. Needless to say, it was quite a heated debate, full of barbs, shots, yelling, and lots of laughs. After this had been going on for about 10 minutes, Freddie asks Billy "who taught Efren to play banks and one-pocket?". Billy replies with "I used to come to Chicago to play him". Those of us standing around know that Freddie was one of the people that worked with Efren on his game many years ago. So as Freddie is trying to get Billy to admit that Freddie had contributed to Efren's game, Freddie says "Yes, you did play him in Chicago, but who else, who else?" It was obvious that Billy was messing with Freddie so Freddie says "let me give you a clue.......he lives in my house!" At that point, everyone erupted in laughter. After that, the discussion moved into the tournament room on the TV table. Once there, the discussion went on for about another hour. As I mentioned to someone while we were standing there soaking it all in.....this is the reason you come to the Derby.
