Rockpile – 9-27-2017

Brian Casey is starting out hot as he rolled the first “700” last week with a 723 and this past Tuesday night Casey tossed a “699” series.

Gary Standaert was 3 pins shy of that “700” mark on the Hometown league last week with a dandy 697 series. Dean Anderson was close to the seven mark with 687. And finally Bill Standaert came up just 5 pins short of a “700” rolling a 695. Nice kegeling fellas!!

Some nice games were bowled on the ladies circuit also: Ellen Koosman, 202; Cindy Rassbach, 194; and Peg Heutmaker, 192.

Quote of the Week

“Women marry men hoping they will change. Men marry women hoping they will not.” — Albert Einstein

Sunday Golf

Jim and Bob were avid golfers, faithfully playing golf every Sunday morning. One particular Sunday, after a few holes they found themselves waiting for two very-slow playing women.

Jim: “Bob, go ask those two women in front of us to move over and let us play through, will you? We’ll be here forever.”

Bob: “No worries, I won’t be a minute.”

So off trots Bob down the fairway toward the two women. But when he got halfway there, he suddenly stops and starts to walk back to Jim.

Jim: “What’s the matter?”

Bob: “I can’t go down there.”

Jim: “Why not?”

Bob: “Well, it’s those women. One’s my wife and the other is my mistress.”

Jim: “No worries, mate. I’ll go.”

So off he goes, but when he gets halfway Jim turns around and heads back to Bob.

Bob: “Well?”

Jim: “It’s a small world!!”
