PING PONG and the LOSER, again..

Speaking of ping pong. Later in life when I was about 35 or so, I was working at Jeffco Steel Fabricators in Commerce City. One of my co-workers was Franz G. He came here from Germany as a young man. One day, we were working on a project and some how got on to the subject of ping pong. Franz always seemed to be full of crap. A nice guy but I never believed much of what he said most of the time. Somewhere in there, I said that I could beat anybody here at ping pong. Franz said that he had been the champion ping pong player of Bavaria. I laughed and I think my words were “bullshit” or something along that order. We agreed to go to the sport center on Federal Blvd in Denver on the coming Saturday. They had bowling, pool tables and ping pong tables that you could rent. Well, we played about sixteen games and I only won one game. I accused him of letting me win that one. He was good. My thoughts from then on were maybe he is not completely full of crap, after all.
