The latest bowling story that is going the rounds concerns some lady players who were spending the afternoon on a certain green in Invercargill (says the Times). To the consternation of one newly initiated but enthusiastic lady player she sent down a bowl which, instead of rolling neatly down the green to the kitty, turned off and finished up two rinks away “ What was wrong with that? ” she innocently remarked. “ Oh,” was the reply, “ the bias was on the wrong side.” “ I must Jake it down to-morrow and get it fixed,” said the aggrieved lady.
I am planning a huge fraud. If i succeed I shall become rich, and if I am caught I shall make money by writing my memoirs.”
—Per Bruminer, Berlin.
