Juuuust a Bit Outside

Two nights ago i made the shot of my life playing pool. Unfortunately, it had nothing to do with any skill whatsoever as anyone who is anyone knows that i suck beyond all imagination. I hate pool for the same reason i hate basketball... I'm simply terrible. If fact my roommate in college (Ed Rice) loved playing pool and tried to introduce me to the game for a bit of bonding... However, after just one game he said, "hey uhh... I'm gonna go see if any of those guys want to try a game." It hurt my feelings a bit but he was right to do so as a complete stranger has a 92.7% chance of being better than me and he simply wanted a bit of competition. However, two nights ago the day was mine!
I was lining up my shot for the side pocket. I was using 94% of my brains computing power. If i could i would use more but its all i can manage as the other 6% is reserved for running the bodies vital functions. My buddy Shannon standing at the table waiting for his turn was making the "hurry up, your just going to miss anyways" face. Just at that precise moment a more than reasonably attractive woman walked by to leave the bar and Shannon does the owl head watch her go. Just then, as she was leaving, she returns his eye contact and he initiates the " how you doin' look. Oblivious to this, I wind up for my pitch and slam the cue ball. The cue ball not only goes past the intended number 3, it goes over it, over the hole, over the table itself, and nails Shannon right in the pecker mid sentence of "how you... *%$*!"
I'm sure one day he will look back and laugh at that. I know i did :)
