When your family gives you a cheap cue you dont want, THEN WANTS IT BACK!

There is no such word as "Lieing" in the English language so I would agree that it is wrong. But what does that have to do with this thread?
I like this post....sometimes I'm like that...I wish it was all the time.

It sounds to me like the Son does not even know about the cue (unless your wife's Aunt decides to tell him about the cue that she gave to you). Maybe just tell your wife the honest trust (that you knew that it was a very junky / worthless cue), and you just decided to throw it away one day while you were cleaning out your garage.

So,..... were you a member of the gang The Warriors and had to fight your way back to Coney Island using that pool cue?.... lol
Jokes aside, I would seriously suggest you tell your wife a 'white lie' and say you think you might have accidently thrown it away cleaning out the garage. No one gets insulted and your potential for having the lie come back on you is about zero.
I'm far from a cue expert but based upon my very limited knowledge that doesn't look like a Balabushka. Don't they generally have points, a steel joint and a brown bumper?
Is that what you guys are thinking? Valuable old cue?
I don't lie to the wife. I'm old fashioned. I may leave out details but never lie. Ask me no questions and I'll tell no lies is one of my mottos.. As far as the cue it's a piece of sheet IMO. Show her the pictures you posted. Tell her it went out with the trash with the other junk. BTW I would guess that cue was $5 - $10, maybe $25 tops when new. I could be wrong again.
If that's the case why not just give the cue to the guy? What are you losing?
The OP threw the cue out.

OK , maybe I was wrong.
I took a 2nd look at your photo's of the cue and case.
go ahead , tell her the truth and then pee in her kitchen sink.

Why would he accept the cue and then throw it out?
Funny story. My Dad was in early stages of dementia. I came into possession of an old Scott Atwater outboard motor which wasn't working. I intended to put it in my storage shed but I stopped by Dad's house with the motor in the back of my pickup and he told me to leave it in his garage until I could get it fixed. After a few months I finally tracked down a guy who worked on Scott Atwater motors and stopped by Dad's place to get the motor. He had thrown it out. I asked him why. That **** thing was taking up room in my garage.
Tell her the **** cue was taking up room in your basement.
While not stated; I have a strong feeling that the OP is at least as concerned ( probably more ), about having to hear sheet from wifey than the aunt
This could be a little harsh or right on the money depending on the person I guess :rotflmao1::rotflmao1:
Im sure you can always come up with a reason you had to toss it to stick to the honesty theme, joint was effed up and irreparable or something along those lines.
After reading some of these replies it no longer surprises me that there is also a thread titled "Murder at the pool hall"
Take a quick trip to NPR and this response makes perfect sense.
