A young man working at the bowling alley with his father accidentally overturned a cart full of bowling balls. John at the snack bar looked over and saw the boy struggling to right the tipped cart.

"Hey Chris," the snack bar employee said. "Forget your troubles for a bit. It's late. Come over here and try some of these new jalapeno poppers and fries. I'll help you with that cart after you eat."

"That's mighty nice of you, but Pa won't like that," Chris replied.

"Aw, come on, take a break for a bit," the man at the snack bar insisted.

"Well, okay," the boy finally agreed. "But Pa won't like it."

After eating a few of the poppers with ranch dressing and a huge plate of golden french fries, Chris thanked the snack bar worker. "I feel a lot better now, but I just know that Pa will be upset."

"Nonsense," the cook said. "Where is your pa anyway"?

"Under the cart."

Bowling is a sport that should be right down your alley.

If you can't hear a pin drop, then something is definitely wrong with your bowling.

Our small town used to have a bowling alley, but somebody stole the pin.

"Something is wrong with my bowling delivery," Tom said gutturally.

I'll never bowl with him again. After he got a strike, he spiked the ball.

If our town didn't have bowling, there'd be no culture at all.

I go bowling once every four years to make sure I still hate it.
