OK, I have to give you a golf clap for that one. You gotta respect a good burn.

Bring back the pencil scoring sheets; none of this electronic crap.

Bowling is a primary way to (A) teach kids basic arithmetic and (B) use said arithmetic to find creative ways to cheat

Also it was a way for 13 year old's to make money on league night. When your parents dragged you to league night you could always make $10-$20 keeping score for a team of heavy drinkers.

Meh. I'm lazy and could never remember the intricacies of the bowling scoring system.

There's no bailout needed here. The problem is that some turkey split with all the cash.

The only bowling place here just closed. They're putting up condos (starting at $600k). Median price of a HOUSE is about half that in a good economy. Don't really know what they're thinking. Wonder if they read the news.

Ah yes, pin setting double alleys at the CYO. Bad memories at ten cents a line.

[after Homer bowls another strike]

Lenny: Hey Homer, that's four strikes in a row! You've got a perfect game going.
Homer Simpson: Really?
Carl: Careful what you say Lenny, you'll jinx him.
Lenny: Oh, right, sorry.
Lenny: Miss! Miss!... Sorry, I was calling the waitress...

[talking to waitress]

Lenny: Uh, this split you sold me is making me choke.
Homer Simpson: Lenny!
Lenny: What? I paid seven-ten for this split.
Carl: Would you at least call it a banana-split, you dumbwad?
Lenny: Hey, spaaare me your gutter mouth.

[Lenny gets hit in the groin with Homer's bowling ball]

If true, this contravenes a number of the league's bylaws

All Your balls have 3 holes in them.

actually...a 1-10 would be a washout and not a split because the headpin(1) is standing
