Went drinking....had 10 beers...left cue

It's a good thing that you have friends at the bar that would bring your cue from the bar and put it in your garage for you. That's good friends right there. What kind of cue was it?

I have been looking for my office keys for a week. We just moved and lots of things are in turmoil.

I found them. In my pocket, with my change. I've been carrying them around with my loose change not knowing it.

And I was not drinking. :wink:

Once in my life I lost my Joss in it's original Fellini case.

Back around 1989 or 1990 I got into an accident. Actually I rear ended my chemistry professor. I bumped my head and went to the hospital in an ambulance.

My car was totaled.

In those days I was playing every day and my Joss, in the Fellini case, was in the back seat of my car.

A couple days later I got to the lot where the car was towed but it was Sunday and they were closed. I could see the car but I could not get to it. I knew for certain things went missing from cars at that lot all the time. The tow truck operators took things regularly. Plus it was raining and the windows were broken out of the car.

When I got to the car on Monday the cue was gone.

After a couple days of recovery (minor injuries) I got back to school and went to see the prof that I hit. He was very understanding. He had a little neck soreness and I had only bent the bumper on his Jeep yet my little subcompact was totaled.

As we spoke he said he had something for me. He had not opened it but it looked important so he grabbed it out of my car at the scene of the accident before they towed my car away. From under his desk he produced my Fellini with the Joss inside, undamaged and safe.

Chop, with the keys issue you should empty out your pockets and wash your pants on a daily basis. Problem solved.

LOL!


Yeah...I was just grabbing the fist full of change out of my pocket when I changed pants and shoving it into the next pair of pants I was wearing not knowing I had the keys in there.

I usually don't carry around a bunch of change, but with the moving going on it just sort of accumulated. Lot's of little occasions using cash that just were not typical.

That big wad of change camouflaged the keys.

In short...I do change my pants. Really...I swear.....

LOL! :wink::smile:

Glad to hear you found your cues. I have nightmares about that same scenario. Cannot say how many times I have gotten up in the middle of the night to check.

Met a friend at the pool...got drunk and left the pool hall with my cue behind the bar.

Went looking for it a few weeks ago. The cue is no longer behind the bar or in the office.

Accepted the fact that I lost the cue.


This afternoon went into my office in the garage....low and behold the cue and the case it was in was under the coffee table in there.

Was going to retire from pool but somehow the pool gods want to keep me in the game.

Hey brother if it makes you feel any better I've got a story for you. The most recent cue purchase I made ( within a couple months ) we made arrangements to meet at a local bar by me. We met and did transaction no problem. I was doing shots, before, during, and apparently after he was there. I remember getting stick. Anyway I wake up next morning - no new stick. I went that night to bar to see if anyone turned one in - nope. This sucks! I had a new cue for what - an hour lol??? Anyway, same thing. I had it in my basement couple days later - fhewwww. Lucked out this time lol.

It's not pool you need to retire from. It's drinking.

Yup. I have owned it since 1985, made in the mid-seventies, amazing cue IMHO.
