    Word for word. Oh, and slow play.

    Sorry, man. I'm putting every single time. An extra five seconds doesn't matter.

    I admit to a fondness for fishing for balls -- but not when anyone's on my heels.

    I don't mind guys ahead of me who play very slowly. I always can use the target practice.

    I played with a guy who had a "lucky ball" that he'd use for putting. Had his university logo on there.
    OK, we were all in the "break 100/threaten 90" range and we never played for a lot of money. No big deal.
    Except this dude was always complaining about another guy's liberty with the rule book.

    "You do realize," I said, "that your 'putting ball' thing is illegal. You have to finish with the ball you started with, unless you lose it and take a penalty or it is damaged during play."
    "Bullshit," he said.
    "Not bullshit," I said.

    We went back and forth for a while, discussing not arguing. Another guy in the group picked up his lucky ball, tossed it into the pond and said, "That settles that. He's right, you're wrong. Play with the same ball."

    Poor guy was crushed. I felt bad, though my hysterical laughter probably made that hard to determine.

    Was the guy who threw it in the water a Tech grad, by chance?

    That I can live with. I hate it when somebody ahead of me does it but it's even worse when somebody in my own group does it and we've got people behind us. I want to go push the guy into the freaking lake and tell him to quit holding people up for a used Lady Top Flite that has been in the water for six months.
