When I was 8 the neighbors across the street introduced me to pool. Beautiful 4x8 slate table. I could just see over the top . I loved it . there was a Donald duck or one of them explaining geometry and talking about angles. I remember them using pool as an example and it was the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of refraction. That cartoon is what I used when trying to first hit the ball in the right spot. I knocked on those poor neighbors doors for years and I would stay down there quietly playing for hours on end. I don't think they had the heart to tell me to go home. I played all the time till later in life. In my time I could run and hold table for hours. That's how I drank for free. A good pool player can tell when he's on. You just look and you can see everything. Every shot. Any pool player will also tell you that with pool and bars comes fighting and I did a lot of that back then too. lol.
