Americans & Big Balls

Tonight Dana and I met with a fellow Yank from Melbourne and his dad. We played pool at James Squire Ale House on King Street Wharf. My Aussie mate Glenn came as well and he got a kick out of our reaction to the size of the billiard balls: they're small. They're not snooker-small, but they're certainly smaller. The pockets are smaller too, so the game is no easier. Maybe it just goes along with the saying that Americans have to make everything bigger: cars, houses, and even balls.
