Billiards

Sometimes I play pool. It's a fun game, but I'm not very good at it. I don't know all the rules, and sometimes I think people take advantage of me by not telling them to me. That's okay though. The one thing I don't understand is the chalk. Whenever I'm struggling, I walk over and put a little chalk on the end of my pool cue as though the lack of chalk is the reason for me not sinking the shots. I view this chalk as some sort of "magic fairy dust" that improves my game. I don't think very many people know the exact reason for this, and if you do, maybe you should spend a little less time in your basement playing pool.
