Any one here know any jokes, sayings, or words of wisdom that are
POOL/Billiards Related?

I'm thinking about making up a few T-shirts using those iron thingys that
you can print on using your own printer.

I only know one:

George Burns was asked on his 90th birthday, What is sex like at your
age...... he replied.......... it's like shooting pool with a rope!

Jimboct actually got off a good one this week,
"I would never buy a 'plain-jane' cue, it would be pointless."

Roger I'm 23 and have no plans of growing up. With a little help and
dedication maybe I could be the other.

Glad you enjoyed it. The strange thing is, around here in the Ozarks, when I
tell this to pool players, they don't get it. Hmm...

One I like more and more every day is one by Scotty Townsend. I guess
because it is so true.

In a tournament I played Scotty as hard as I could. I relaxed as much as I
could and that wasn't much. The pressure of playing him was phenomenal as
he plays nine ball top speed.

After the tournament Scotty brought me over to the side and said "Comehere
MAN, let me tell you something, YOU GOT TO TAKE THE DOG OFF THE CHAIN, YOU
GOT TO LET HIM RUN FREE". If you know Scotty's personality and accent, it
is funny.

Heard one from Mark Wilson years ago. After a match, when one player gets all
the breaks to go their way. "You mowed the grass, I picked the flowers."

I also have seen pool players with T-shirts that say:
"One out of the money"

Here is one which was recently submitted to our "Range Rumors & Rail Jokes"
column by a woman named Missy Weber:

Q: "How many pool players does it take to screw in a lightbulb?"
A: "10... 1 to screw it in and 9 to say 'phhttt, I could do that!' "

Here's a particularly dumb joke:
What has four legs, is big, green, fuzzy, and if it fell out of a tree would
kill you?

A pool table.

Here is my particular favorite how it came to light.

Bob Ogburn (sp) was at Bakers Billiards one night with Joe Lawerence and a player I will only
identify as MH. MH had about $100 on him and was challenging Bob to some payball. Bob knew
that MH only had a couple of barrels on him, so Bob said if he wanted to play he would play for
$50/$100. MH wanted to play $10/20.

After about 20 minutes of haggeling over the bet Bob turned to MH and said, "You're so cheap
that if your last name was Kellog, you wouldn't bet a rice krispie"

Sort of like what the famous gambler Nick the Greek always said. " The only
thing that comes close to gambling and winning... is gambling and losing".

What ever happened to Mark ? He was the hot stick in WI. When I lived
there but I haven't seen or heard anything about him in years.

I'm sure others are better qualified to answer this but I'll take a stab.

Last I know he lives in Illinois. Pro at one of the pool rooms. Has been
banging around as a professional player for some time. Not necessarily one of
the top on the PBTA or Camel ranks, but basically still a pro player. I think
he was the commentator for the big Strickland/Reyes challange match.
I understand his son has become a very well-respected player.

Wish I knew more, anyone else like to add?
