Joke balls

[philip in china]

I had thought about calling one of the Chinese manufacturers and seeing if they could make some balls with a lump of lead or something similar inside the ball so that it would run absolutely crazy. Does anybody think there would be a market for such a thing? Just drop one red into a set of balls when playing a friendly game and see what reaction you get? I thought it might be fun.

These balls are already available since many, many years...

I've been the victim of this prank down the pub playing pool, it was a White Ball that was weighted and i'd had a few at the time, very amusing, are they available in shops anywhere in the UK?

This is a very innovative and original idea, you should go for it.

Or even:

1) Chocolate Teapot
2) A long weight
3) Banana Peeler
4) Sky hooks
5) Elbow Grease

My god, you could be the next Thomas Edison!!

I was thinking may be I should share with Phillip my most innovative million dollar idea for free--a chalk pouch made of leather!

[RGCirencester]

In a list like that you can't forget Tartan Paint!

But in all seriousness these things exist but i don't really see why.

Dan,
I like the banana peeler idea. I am surprised no one has thought of it yet.
What about a sharp metal object with a blade and a handle made to cut up fruits? That would be really handy, dont you think?
I think I will call it a "knife."
I need to rush to the patent office now, see you.

Amazing what you find on ebay isn't it.... like the guy who sold a bucket of water (minus the bucket!)... love to know how he posted that

Especially if you've had a few, the weighted cue-ball is great fun to play with.

And, after a couple of frames, the most astonishing effect is playing once again with a real cue-ball, which seems to be just as haphazard as the weighted one!

Another good joke, although I've never seen it on sale, is the two reds stuck together!
