I started reading your long posts when I first joined. Fascinating to me, then an now. Great story teller and always interesting.
Cuebuddy....Hu is the real deal
Anudder weakness of mine, Li'l Johnny jokes. Fascinating jarred a memory. Li'l Johnny at school: The teacher is having different students make sentences with words from the vocabulary list. The next word is fascinate and Li'l Johnny is waving his hand. The teacher didn't see too much potential for embarrassment so she called on him.
"My sister has a blouse with nine buttons but her tits are so big she can only fasten eight." The teacher just banged her head on her desk top a few times.
An oldy but goodie: A new school year had just started and the teacher saw a way to do an end around some of the new restrictions to find out about the students' families and check a little on the students spelling level at the same time. She starts going down the rows asking each student what their father did for a living and asking how to spell it.
First was little Susie. "My daddy is a cook, c, o, o, k." "Very good."
Next was Mikey. "My daddy is a mechanic, m, e, c, h, a, n, i, c." "Great!"
Then Debi was next. "My daddy sells shirts, s, h, i, t, s." The teacher turns a little pale. "Try again please." My daddy sells shirts, s, h, i, t, s." The teacher is really pale now. "One more time please."
Li'l Johnny jumps up. "My dad's a bookie, b double o, k, i, e, and I'll give you five to three she spells shits again!"
Hu is a perfect example of a southern boy's ability to spin a tale, particularly that gifted subset from south Louisiana.
Thanks for the kind words! As you know all of them and more apply to you. I had kinda been aware of it without really giving it much thought but the gulf rim all the way from Texas to Florida is a community.
You have probably read JoeyA's website end to end as I have several times. Puts my story telling in the shade! Not only that, he designed and had put together the POW/MIA cue. It will be a family heirloom going down to Joe Jr as it should but I have lusted after it from the first time I saw it. Hitting a few balls with it just made things worse. It hits as good as it looks which is saying something. Aside from his stories, a person can read about his special cue on his site.
Unfortunately for us, a good deed for fellow marines blew up on him and his site to find fellow marines is probably pushing a hundred thousand members now. It was at seventy thousand and growing fast last I looked. Doesn't leave him much time for AZB. Anyway, for some great stories, some pool related, some not, all can visit Joey's earlier site.
