Funny bowling stories?
« on: July 28, 2004, 03:14:19 PM »
I have 2 favorites people told me they did.

One guy went to a house where the steps went down behind the approaches. He was a newbie, when he went up, on the backswing, dropped the ball and it went flying down the stairs and out!

Another friend says she'll never bowl again. As a newbie, didn't let go of the ball right, ended up falling into the gutters (herself) She wasn't hurt but it sure was embarrissing. Now she sits drinks beer and watches her boyfriend. No bowling for her.

I did something very stupid but it didn't seem funny to me. I felt like a fool and a jerk.
I bowled 4 sqauds in a row with my son and his friend and other guy. It was mixed scotch doubles.
When I went to change my shoes to go home. I had my old street shoes on!!!
Made me wonder if I bowled like that or forgot I had changed them. One person said she noticed the black shoes but so many bowling shoes look like street sheos she didn't think anything about it.
My bowling ones are white!! I'm not a slider, I plant my feet, I was so excited to be bowling in a tournament I never noticed.
I was embarressed but felt bad for other bowlers. I shouldn't have been on the approaches with them, that's not funny. Just stupid and embarressing to he such a jerk.

Done this more then a few times. I was bowling league, and whenever I leave the bowling area, I put my shoe cover on. Well even after I come back I have a habit of leaving it on. Go up to bowl and get to my slide step, flat on my face, almost to the arrows.

I have one that inspired to slow down my foot work when I was younger.

On one shot during league, the pinsweeper decides to come down as I was making my approach. At the time I had very fast feet, long slide and liked to launch fast balls down the lane.
Since I noticed the pinsweeper was coming down, I decided it was a good idea to stop instead of looking stupid and destroying the sweeper at the same time. Trying to stop and slow down, I slip and fall, lying on the lane with the ball still in my hand, failing miserably in my attempt to avoid looking stupid.

Needless to say, I've since slowed down my footwork, and I can now succesfully stop midapproach without being a hazard to myself or others
