Bowling alley destroys my bowling ball, so I take the owner's $200 ball to get even.

Here's what happened.

I had forgotten about this until recently and I thought I would share.

It isn't a huge thing, but it resulted in me getting something I wanted but couldn't

afford and then winning money with it.

When I was younger and through my early to mid adult years, I was an avid boulder.

200 plus average back when that actually meant you were good.

Before the bowling ball technology boom, which really comes into play here.

And I worked at the local bowling center from the time I was 16 through 21 or so.

And then again later on in my early 20s.

Working the back is one of the pin setters, front of the house, etc.

So I knew how things operated and what could go wrong and things like that.

I was bowling at a different center one day.

After each shot, my ball came back with a small nick out of it.

Nothing major, but yeah.

So I put that ball away and brought out an old one that I never used, but it was in one

of my bags.

So next two or three shots, another nick each time.

Fourth frame, it finally came back with a fairly large chunk taken out of it.

Usually that means there's a nail or a screw that has worked its way loose and the ball

is catching on it or a piece of metal is broken near the ball lift and is cutting into it.
