Carol: Welcome back readers. This week I have a special treat for you. Last week, a young man who called himself Jimbojet7for7 asked the coach why we bowl. That made me think, “Why do people bowl?” So this week I’m sending Steve out to ask you that exact question. Go get ‘em, coach. Steve: Great idea, Carol. Where should I start? Carol: Here’s the deal. Just outside that door is a ladies league. Some of them have been around this game for quite a while and you can bet they’ve got some real stories to tell. See if you can’t get a couple of good ones. Steve: Got it. See you in a bit. Dean: Did you just send him out into that snake pit to talk to those vipers? Carol: Yeah, this ought to be fun to watch. Those gals hate men so much it’s a wonder they don’t call it The Thursday Morning Male-Haters League. Dean: Why did you do that? Poor guy, I’m gonna miss him. Carol: We have that office pool....Remember? Dean: Oh yeah! Steve: Excuse me, miss... Bowler #1: Git lost, Bozo! Cain’t ya see ahm bizzy? Steve: Sorry miss. I didn’t mean to, uh, you really don’t need that pepper spray, miss....I’ll...just... leave... now. Bowler #1: Dang raght you weell! Dean: Did you see that, Carol?! Carol: Did I ever! I just love little Amy, she has spunk! Hey Lillian! Come on over and watch this! Steve: Whoa! I sure didn’t expect that! Maybe I’ll try that lady over there. She looks a little more friendly. Excuse me miss, I’m working on an article for The Bowling News. Would you mind if I asked you a few questions about.... Bowler #2: Are you hitting on me?!!! Steve: No, not at all. I was just wondering if.... Bowler #2: Yeah, you were just wondering if you could hit on me!!! Well, unless you have a million dollars in your pocket and drive a Ferrari, I’ll be doing the only hitting around here!!! I swear, you men are all alike! Hey, Amy! Throw me that pepper spray! Dean: This is great! Carol, you... are... a...genius! Carol: This is going to be one our best columns ever. Make sure you get all of it! Dean: No problem..... Lillian: Why do you keep doing this to Steve? He’s a nice man. Carol: Office pool! Remember? Lillian: Oh, that’s right. Dean: Look! He’s going over to interview Bertha. Carol: Uh-oh! Lillian, be ready to call the paramedics. Lillian: Again? Steve: Oh, man. What have I gotten myself into? Bertha: Hiya handsome. What seems to be the problem? Steve: Uh, hello...... miss....? Bertha: My name’s Bertha, and you look like you were just handed a death sentence. Steve: I think I was. I’m with The Bowling News and I’m supposed to interview somebody, but so far, everybody I talk to wants to kill me. Bertha: Ask away, honey. Steve: Everybody has a story to tell and I want to hear yours. Why do you bowl? Bertha: To pick up guys. Dean: That’s a fact. She picked me up once. Lillian: Really? Dean : Oh yeah! Threw me halfway down the lane.... oh, look! She’s got Steve by the scruff of the neck! She picks him up by the seat of his pants! She uses the classic two handed shovel-pass, and...... he’s off-kicking and screaming! Sorry folks, it’s a disappointing performance for our dear Bertha tonight! She was barely able to slide Steve past the arrows. But wait, this match isn’t over yet! Steve struggles to his feet. He’s up! Dripping with oil he turns to face Big Bertha. You can see the determination in his eyes. There’s still a lot of fight left in this old coach! But wait! Profes- sional wrestler, “Mayhem” Marcy steps in front of him, she spins him around and applies her world famous hammer- lock hold! She may be new to bowling, but she brings the competitive spirit to a whole new level! Carol: I think Marcy has just invented a new format! We could call it, “Tag-Team Coach Bowl- ing”. Dean: Carol, you’re grinning again...... Bertha: Hey Marcy, don’t be too hard on him! Do you know who that is? Marcy: Don’t know! Don’t care! Bertha: That’s the guy who writes that new column for The Bowling News! Marcy: You’re kidding! This guy’s Carol Mancini?! Comments or questions? Email them to us at: [email protected].
