I find this to be the best description of bowling, that I've ever read:
"Bowling is one of the most difficult sports in the world to master. Your primary objective is to knock down ten pins; unfortunately, the path your ball must travel is comprised of many hazards most of which are not readily detectable. Your adversaries are not impressed by your size, strength, or intelligence. They never ask any quarter, and, most certainly, never give any. Moreover, they will accept your dedication to perfection by intermittently rewarding you with the ulitimate in imperfection. Your great shots will not always strike; and your bad shots will normally result in nothing short of disaster. Bowling is hard to live with; yet, for most of us, it is impossible to live without. Consequently, the love affair with this terribly demanding and increasingly frustrating game may last forever!"
