What Senior Bowlers Know....
« on: May 27, 2009, 06:55:24 AM »
We know, that most of bowling is LUCK....
You're LUCKY to be able to bowl...
You're LUCKY that your thumb fits perfectly...
You're LUCKY that your timing is good...
You're LUCKY that your lined up right...
You're LUCKY that your body is cooperating with your mind...

Feel free to add-on....

You're lucky if your Depends holds out through all 3 games.

You're LUCKY if you make it to the foul line and back without the oxygen tank.
You're LUCKY if the manager swaps your free coffee for free beer.  


Seriously though, I really admire the senior bowlers that still bowl despite obvious limitations that have come with age.

You're LUCKY to be bowling near the Men's toilet so you do not slow up the games when your swollen prostate causes you to go so often.

You're LUCKY if you remember which of the balls on the rack is yours.
You're LUCKY if you can find someone to lift your 4-Ball roller into your trunk.

You're LUCKY if you can still read/see the monitor, let alone what pins are still standing.  And why do they make the monitors so small anyways?  And why are the lanes getting longer too?

You're LUCKY if someone on your pair knows how to make a score correction, let alone input the names into the scoring computer.  

You're LUCKY if Zeke has his hearing aid turned on because he is just standing with his back to you waiting for his ball to return and EVERYONE on the pair is yelling at him to push the reset button because the machine did not cycle from his ten pound ball.

Your lucky if you can hold your concentration as the guy next to you grabs his ball and charges to the foul line without even a glance in either direction.

Your lucky if you have enough revs left to be the only guy not dumping the ball up second arrow.

Your lucky if you can remember where you put your street shoes when you took em off. And ,by the way,which white styrofoam coffee cup WAS yours anyway.

Thank goodness the 4 ball roller comes apart easliy into two, 2 ball sections, otherwise I would not be able to lift my balls into the back of my Jeep. That's why I do not use a three ball roller. Can't pick it up easily!
