I averaged 279 when I bowled league...
« on: May 19, 2011, 03:41:24 AM »
So, today I'm at work.  Laundry needs to be done, so I grab one of my Brunswick Polos, and throw it on.  I go to make a color copy in our graphics section and the dude working in there, says....

"Brunswick?  You bowl?"

Me - "Yeah."

Him - "You any good?"

Me - "Decent."

Him - "What's your average?"

Me - "I booked 220 or something."

Him - "Really?  That's it?  I averaged 279 when I bowled league."

Me - "Really?  You might want to report that because you would own the high average record for the World."

Him - "Really?  Yeah, I used to throw a power ball right up the middle.  I would hit the pins so hard they would come flying out of the back."

Me - "Yeah."

Him - "If I threw a curve ball I would have to stand in the left gutter and throw it at the right gutter, so I just stuck with the straight ball."

Me - "Wow.  Versatile too."

Him - "I always wanted a clear ball with a skull in it."

Me - "Yep, they make those.  (inching towards the doorway) Well, gotta get back to work.  Later."

Sad, but this happens all the time.  Not too long ago, the lady at the front desk said her husband bowls just for fun and gets mad when he doesn't shoot a 300 game.  So I guess he's not a very happy guy in general.

I think a lot more of the general public believes their average is actally their series instead of their game.  I've had several people tell me their best game ever is like 550.
