“How does someone so smart (allegedly) not make any adjustments to stop throwing the ball in the gutter?”
Everyone (almost) knows it only takes 2 balls and a broomstick to bowl a strike every time!
Matter of fact, absent glue and trimming the end of the broomstick, I'll fade that bet every time...if you 'roll' the device instead of starting the balls in the channel past the gutter. 12 in a row? I'll pay to see it, under the conditions stated above.
