Bowling is like life. Sometimes you are the ball. Other times you are the pins.

The bowling center you frequent the most gives you employee discounts from bowling practice to food at the snack bar/restuarant.

Your family members never say that it's hard to buy gifts for you.
You've invested substantially more money in your bowling equipment than you have invested in your retirement accounts.
You brag about a recent 299 during a job interview (didn't get that job...)

My ex-partner for work phoned in sick for two days, claiming to have the flu. On the second day, I subbed for a team in his bowling league. This moron was there bowling too - no sign of illness there! As you may have guessed, he's unemployed now.
