I was playing a really good player and getting out making key shots,an old timer says "We should take this kid on the road.",then i miss a fairly routine shot right after and he replies "We wont need much gas though."

One pocket line
"When the waitress comes by ask her for roll of pennies, you're going to need it."
Watching a ONE POCKET MATCH. Player A scratches into the pocket and starts whining about posting his 3rd penny on the rail. Player B states "When the waitress comes by ask her for roll of pennies, you're going to need it." It was bold enough of a statement to make me die laughing for atleast an hour. Regardless, Player B won the match 8 to minus 5. I am still laughing.

Dan McGoorty: "I look up at him and say, 'Just a strain, huh, doc?"
Doctor: "Yeah, just a strain commonly known as gonorrhea. Got any money?"

I can't believe nobody has used (I know you all have used it!):
I haven't been playing much lately.

Buddy of mine played a guy for several hours and beat him silly, he finally told the guy it was late and he had to go. The guy says "aren't you going to give me a chance to win my money back?" My buddy: "What? You want me to wait here until you learn to shoot pool?"
One time a guy asked me who my next match was, after I told him it was Warren, a top player in our area, he was struggling to be encouraging, so he said "That should be a good match." I replied : "Not if you're a Warren Fan"
The I went out and smoked Warren. I don't think he won any games.

A bit long, but...
"If you are discouraged it is a sign of pride because it shows you trust in your own powers. Never bother about other people's opinions. Be humble and you will never be disturbed. Remember St. Aloysius, who said he would continue to play billiards even if he knew he was going to to die. Do you play well? Sleep well? Eat well? These are duties. Nothing is small for God." - Mother Theresa

I have a few....
Hard to hit but easy to make - Ball was near a pocket, but cue ball was snookered. Sounds crazy but it was true.
Its not the arrow but the Indian. - JR Calvert after a miscue. We offered him an out, but he took the blame.
He hates money - Top local player here. Great player but gives away the world for no reason. I used to back him but pride insists he gets into games that he cannot win.
He trades games where he cannot loose for those he cannot win - Mine! About the same player above. (LIFE AS A BACKER!!!)

Oh, and this one, similar to some others....
Sitting next to Lou Butera watching my buddy play in the last IPT qualifier in Vegas. His opponent plays his 8-ball pattern bass-ackwards and has his last ball with a tough cut or a cross-over bank, he banks it, misses. I ask Lou, "would you have shot it that way?"...
Lou's reply: "Sure, if I hate my stakehorse".
