Are you any good at pool? I can play but am a real straight shooter. I can draw the cue or give it a decent top spin but true English shots never do any good for me.
We had a pool table when I was kid. I never got good at it but I heard all of the terms. I know what a bridge is and to hold still when someone is taking a shot. They used playing cards to level the slates. I remember a lot of the rules but don't know all of them. There are two pool tables where I work because why not throw your paycheck away on gambling.
"Or double it" gamblers credo
Good find!
