Rule Nine

Cues are not sex toys. They do not go in any orifices.

Rule Ten

If you fuck it up, it comes out of your pocket.

Just so you know, re-felting a table like this has been estimated at "five fitty", and that ain't five dollars fifty, if you know what I'm sayin'.

Rule Eleven (a)

This includes Eric(a)'s gas emissions.

Rule Twelve

Once a game ball has been sunk, sinking the white ball is a foul.
