"40. You call in sick to work, but show up that night (102 Fever and all) for league.'

What does calling in sick for work have to do with bowling?
I call in sick for bowling when I can't pick up my bowling arm ... with either hand or when I'm in the hospital.


"35. You own more bowling balls than pairs of dress shoes."

Dress shoes? Got more balls than I have socks!


"32. During your walk, your left arm has a natural swing, but your right arm as a follow through."

My wife says my shoulders are crooked BECAUSE I bowl too much for the past 30 years.


"10. You tape football to watch the PBA show live."

Who tapes footbal? I tape the PBA, watch it live, then watch the tape to analyze the shots and the balls used and the drillings ...

I am guilty of quite few of these myself. Cleaning my bowling balls gets the most attention when I am finished on my mixed league. I simply reply: "you can't bowl with dirty balls!!" and then they always laugh.
