Pong Lessons

by Random Guise

A drabble series that is and isn't about the groundbreaking game Pong - it could alternatively be titled "Everything I Needed to Know in Life I Learned from Pong". My only posting that I'll keep in-progress just in case I have an occasional inspiration for additions later; I'm starting off with 13 lessons and we'll see where it goes.

7. Chapter 7

The Left and Right paddles were standing around one day when Left challenged Right to a game.

"I don't really feel like playing" Right said.

"Oh come on, let's play. It'll be fun."

"No way. Maybe tomorrow" Right said as he departed.

"Fine, I'll play alone" Left stated. He started the game, and won 21-0. He played again and tried some trick shots, and won 21-1. He tried playing, blinking his eyes rapidly and won 21-2. Bored, he left to do something else.

Lesson: If you want to play by yourself, try solitaire.
