RE the billiard balls, uh...yeah...good point. Maybe I'll substitute a couple of baseballs...tell 'em I'm going for an autograph fare. I have a matched set of those Chinese theraputic stone spheres - in a velvet lined box yet complete with instructions in english - which my brother in law brought from the PRC when he visited there about 10 years back. You've probably seen them in your travels. I don't believe I could get them through.

How very appropriate. I bet they could get through, depending on the size.

If not, the quarters in the socks still work though.
