I love bowling myself Post editors almost as much as neon lights. When the two are combined, it’s twice as nice! When that opportunity (ever) comes back, I’ll be around. I had a little bowling fiasco in May 1971 at the Pickwick Park Bowling alley.
We were on an end-of-the-8th-grade field trip to Pickwick Park in semi nearby Burbank from the Catholic school in Encino. Anyway, I was bowling with a girl I liked, and she lunged the ball a little too soon. The re-set device was still down when she lunged the ball forward almost hitting it had it not gone into the right side gutter. That was enough for the owner to take us both by the scruff of the neck and shouted “SCRAM YOU TWO! GET OUTTA HERE NOW, G– D— IT !!” We were in trouble with Sister Mary Gregory who shook us and called our parents later.
So, I have to say #6 from ’56 is my favorite, followed by numbers 3 and 4 from ’55. Number 4 has the SO very political incorrectness (it IS wrong) going for it in addition to the original humor. In number 3 the lady wants to finally ‘get that kid’. Does she, or doesn’t she?
