I should not be revealing the body of knowledge acquired over a lifetime
Just because i am retired these many years from the life doesn't mean that there
are not some working men whose livelihood could be threatened if his methods
are shared with the public

probably of little interest anyway

It's like the old radio shows. Stay tuned next week kids.....

If she is complaining about the seats not being up then just take them off and see how she likes falling through in the middle of the night. Really don't do that. I did and it wasn't fun being woke up with ice cold water all in the bed. She said that's what my hind end felt like while I was half asleep.
 
I'm confused. Is the guy's name Mark, or is the guy a mark (sucker)?
I sure hope this isn't s serial. I'm busy next week. :smile:
 
this is through,i finished it
i hope not to detain you

this is just a practical way to deal with the
friendly know it all big shot who keeps getting in the way talking
or educating the pool room
 
No one ever complained

At the Cotton Bowling Palace years ago there was this guy that would knock
your game and I never saw anyone complain. Not to his face anyway. Verron
Lintton was the resident tush hog there and if you had a sucker down he would
come up and declare himself in. If he was in a good mood he might even justify
this move by telling you he steered the guy to you. Even though you knew this
was BS. If you balked then he would go right over to the guy and knock it.
Sometimes the guy would say he didn't care how you played he was not quitting.
If that happened Verron would just jerk the cue out of the guys hand and tell him
the game was over. And it was. Now since most of us didn't have dental insurance
at the time we were more than happy to let him become our partner. Oh and by
the way he was in from the start of the game or at whatever point you got ahead.
On the bright side you weren't going to get stiffed.

JACK KNOWS PLENTY OF STORIES

it is always good to see him post,I hope we will be hearing
more from him

Vernon was indeed big and tough,but once you got to know him he was a pretty good guy

I once won a huge score playing bar pool,I won two new Triumph Bonnevilles and a payroll of over $10,000 at a time when this was real money

The owner was threatening not to provide the title to the bikes so I figured to sell them to Vernon
one was mine the other was Tony Abbott.he was with me when I won,we played golf together and were friends since high school so in the parking lot of the Cotton Palace we agreed to sell the bikes to Vernon

He gave Tony about $900 (which as i say was a lot of money) payment in full,then Tony got off his bike and onto the back of mine with me,Vernon then handed me $600 and said ,I will catch up with you on the other $300 soon.

So I gave the throttle to the bike and began to circle Vernon in the parking lot as he chased us on foot,saying come on Dean you know I am good for it

I said no pay no bike,call me when you have the $300,now no one had ever spoken to Vernon this way
and I was just a little guy compared to him,never accused of being tough or crazy as this episode suggest

Well after this he got the $300 and met me at my grandmothers house where i kept the motorcycle,
I was not allowed to have a motorcycle at my mom's house where i lived

Vernon paid,I collected and he reached out and patted me on the back saying"you got balls son"

I walked a little taller that day.

I have a few more of these that Jack will probably be surprised to hear,I was truly
sad to hear of Vernon's passing away,he ended up being a good friend
