Whats the funniest excuse for bowling bad?
« on: March 01, 2007, 03:43:04 AM »
The reason I posted this is because we all know that guy that complains about everything, just wondering what the funniest you've ever heard?

EXAMPLE: we had this guy we subed with for a year and he averaged like 145, everytime he threw a bad ball he would look at the bottom of his slide foot, so we asked "whats wrong you stickin?" he said "No the approaches are really dusty" and I understand sometimes they are dirty but he said this like 10x a night and only avg.145 I've heard of alot of things but dusty approaches is a good one!

there is a guy on one of my leagues that thinks he is god, we bowled against them and beat the crap out of them, one guy on my team shot 713, while "god" only shot 643, these are the top 2 average bowlers in the league, the guy on my team has 202 while "god" has 200 even

after we got finished for the night "god" came up and said "you better be glad my arm was hurting or you would have bowled a 700"

wtf, his arm has something to do with the other guy's bowling? and he shoots above his average and then complains about his arm hurting?

My favorite after any really bad release, or missed spare.... "excuse me, but my lack of talent is showing again!"

"I've got a ball of cotton in my sock and its driving me crazy"

"Taco Bell put too much lettuce on my taco"

"I felt the air from the ceiling fan in my backswing"

"(son) let me sleep too long"

"(son) woke me up too early"

"These aren't 60 watt light bulbs"

"My ceiling fan is turning faster than the rest"

"My ceiling fan is turning the wrong direction"

I love the thumb grab after the ball goes in the ditch.

Yes, some of those are real.

My personal favorite was from a bowler who never throws a bad shot.

"I missed my spot by 1/4 board and the ball didn't even hit the head pin"

Think about that one. A ball is what 9" diameter, what is a pin 4". How do you miss your spot by 1/4 board and not hit the head pin. (Assuming you threw it well).

My second favorite is: I could bowl just as good as these other guys if I could afford the equipment (3 newer balls in bag).


Man that is the best one so far!! I have been laughing at that all day

Some interesting reasons that I have heard

"That big 4 threw off my rhythm."
"The guy to my right was praying in my delivery."  There's actually a bowler in one of my leagues that looks like he prays at the foul line and it is hilarious.
"If I only had my spare ball today."  Everyone must have heard this, but one bowler actually had his ball destroyed in a tournament, it ricocheted out of the gutter into the pinsetter, it shattered and had pieces in the ball return and over the lane.  No excuse to keep missing 10 pins though
"Someone dropped a ball on my foot."  Someone has used this as an excuse and in fact this has actually happened to me in a tournament during practice.  I still won though (not until I complained a little)
"The ball return was in my way and I couldn't get deep enough"  Nobody else seemed to have that problem.

Alright I have a bunch all from the same guy!

Hes a low 200 ave. bowler. 201-211 mainly in the same house. He cares too much about his average to try any place harder for his game. Anyway these were from about 2-3 years ago.

He makes a bad shot but blames the pins being off spot! How can the pins be off spot 7 frames out of 10 and the place be USBC sanctioned??

Threw the 1st shot of the night 5 boards right of his mark and the ball leaves him the 1-2-4-6-10 and says, DAMM THAT CARRY DOWN!

Front 8 then leaves the big 4, says "OHHH COME ON!! That was flushed!! DAMM people 9 lanes down need to watch their lane curtesy!!" (this on cracks me up every time!)

Threw a bad shot, thumb stuck in the ball. He says Ball is swelling up on me, time for a ball change. When that ball does the same thing he then says "My balls need a beating or something cause they are all too big!"

and my all time favorite.....

I cant bowl because they have open bowlers 3 lanes left/right.

Now I can kinda see his point here, especially when the open bowler are legal females that are wearing skirts/dresses with pantyhose or not and you can the crack of their bum when they release the ball! Love these kinds of open bowlers, even I cant bowl all that well with them around. Unlike King Pin!!!
