Bowling with the bar

The first time I bowled I got alcohol-poisened. It was almost 20 years ago, and my company back then had a do for about a thousand employees. And no, it wasn't their fault I drank too much, but the red wine they served was a cheapo, and I had too much. Plus I had to wear ugly shoes. That was the only time in my life that I didn't get to work the next day.

But forget the alcohol poisoning, that's a whole different story. This evening I was invited to an evening with some people I don't know too well. We were bowling. So I signed up, got the (still ugly) shoes and started to play. Since nobody else signed up on my team I thought "the bar" was nice enough to play with me, and because of that I kept on playing until I got to "the".

Aha, Theresa and Barbara just signed up. The bar. I get it. And...drumroll please...guess who won! And it's funny, the only time I thought about it, and got a lighter bowl designed for women I shot a zero. When I decided to just go for it, I hit a strike. Well, at least once.
