Proj 58 of 365: in between pins and gutters

(06.11.09)
it's true, bowling balls have minds of their own.
when we're looking, they may look still and motionless but try playing bowling and you'll see the naughty buggers that they are.

it seems there's this international syndicate of avenging bowling balls because this always happens to me wherever the bowling alley is.

first, i pick up an innocently light ball and the moment i put it in the alley, it just gets loose. sometimes, it'd go directly to the gutters even if i instructed it not to! the most frustrating part is that even how slowly i push the ball to ensure it'd hit even a pin, it still double-crosses me by running straight for several meters then swerving either to the left or right when the pins are inches away (allergies against pins, maybe?) sometimes, it grows angel wings and in order for me not to get too suspicious, tries not to give me a hard time by giving me freebies - a strike and spare every once in a while as a bribe for my silence.

are you nodding your heads in agreement? if it doesn't happen to you, hear this:

the next time your ball goes to the gutter, don't say you haven't been warned. :p
