I love Hellmann's Mayonnaise what a loss.

Joe, Come on over here big guy. Me thinks you are bored.
Will take you to the bar and school you in shooting
pool. How does that sound?

I love shooting pool....

All right, My kind of guy. Besides being a sweetheart he
loves to shoot pool. I'll be waiting.

Afraid you may have to wait for a while, I have a prior meeting whenever I get to Neb.

But there's nothing saying that we can't all get together and share a game or two....
