BALLS!

Dear Agony Aunt,

Please help me.

On the weekend I played pool with my wife and she beat me convincingly two games to one.
I feel that this is damaging to my ego and may cause on-going problems.

What can I do?

Dear Patrick,

To use pool analogy:

  •  you have to use a straight cue to knock those balls together.
  • There's nothing worse than good position if you miss the shot.
  • Don't try to get perfect shape when good shape will do.
  • A "real man" doesn't play safe unless they want to win.
  • It's not the cue. It's you.
  • Never give a sucker an even break.
  • If you can't find the one being hustled in the pool room, it's you.
  • Those who can't play ... teach.
  • Stroke it, don't poke it.

But really, I suggest that you just grow some.

- Agony Aunt

  1. Why did Agony Aunt get two turns in a row when other Curmudgeons haven't posted for ages. Also, shouldn't the word 'Curmudgeon'be in her name somewhere?
