A friend of mine recently bought a pool table, and he asked me to stop by to give him some advice to help him become a better player, knowing that I am very good at the game. However, after I arrived, I got really frustrated because he wasn’t really listening to me, and I had to say the same thing four or five times. Finally, I had enough and I yelled, “Would you clean out your ears! I am trying to give you some cue tips!”
