How to Win The Pool Stick Bar Bet - Bar tricks

Woman: So I need a favor. Simon: What's that, my darling? Woman: Can you teach me some pool bets to show off to Pete? Simon: Well, and Peter shoots a pretty good stick, right? Woman: Yes, and I do not. Simon: Yeah, and a lot of people don't play pool. Woman: I'm one of them. Simon: But I can teach you how to beat him at the pool table. Here's a great bet. Give me that little blue ball there. Just pop it down on the table here. I caught it. Lay your stick across the table. Woman: Okay. Simon: Like this. I'm willing to bet you, and this is what you say to him, that I can roll that pool ball under the stick and it'll go dead under the stick, and it won't touch it. Woman: No, show me. Simon: You want to know? Woman: I do. Simon: You aren't going to pony up a drink for this, of course. Woman: Maybe, let's see the trick first, all right? Simon: No, you pony up the drink first. Woman: Okay, you've got a deal. Simon: I promise you I can do it. The stick is right across the table. There is no way that ball can go under the stick, but that's not what I bet you is it? It's all about the words. I said I can roll the ball under the stick without it touching it. I didn't say the ball had to stay on the table. So I take the ball and I roll it under the table. Woman: And now you've got yourself a free drink. Simon: And now there's a free drink for you. The ball went under the stick. I just didn't say it would be on the table.
