So Dad, Jared and I are out installing a jacuzzi for a customer, while my mom is watching the shop the other day. This guy, his wife and daughter come in to look at cue sticks. But they just aren’t real happy with the selection we currently have. So my mom is showing them the catelog, when one cue catches his eye.

The Dufferin Destiny cue. The Dufferin line is pretty famous, and they’re made up in Canada. The company started strong some time ago, but when the old man died and passed it off to the kids… well, a family fued happened. All of them greedy bastards, beatin’ eachother up, over who gets what, and how much, etc.

Thus a great line of cuesticks ends.

So when this customer points out that he really likes that Destiny cue, my mom recalls that I’d been keeping a cue in a case in my office. So she decides to go grab it, and show the guy. Of course, he loves it to death. Just like most people that see it. And now he wants it.

Only problem is, this bad boy just ain’t for sale. It just became a collectors item, and you can’t get them anymore. So this cue that woulda cose him $200, would now cost him $2,000. At least, thats the price I would have given it up for.

So when mom calls me (completely oblivious to the fact that we can’t get them anymore) she’s talkin about selling it to him. Thats when I freak. I was already having beef with the wiring on the jacuzzi I was doing, and my old man was naturally on my nerves… so I overreacted a bit. I hollered at her to leave things alone in my office and whatnot, then hung up.

Now she had to go back out and tell the guy, that we can’t get them, and that the cue he really loves, ain’t for sale. Thats tuff.

But I guess this guy is on a quest to search the internet for em. So maybe he’ll get his. All I know is that I’ve got mine.
