Croquet Anyone?

Hmmm, this looks interesting.

The box says:
Croquet is an easy game to play.
At the same time it provides a genteel and competitive pastime.

Lemme get this straight.
I take this heavy wooden mallet and

try to hit this equally heavy mini bowling ball.

Okay, I'll give it the ol' preschool try.

Batter up!

(only you're not supposed to miss...you didn't see that, did you?)


I have been informed that the goal is to gracefully move the ball along.
I ask you...if you want to gracefully move the ball along
why not just pick it up (while wearing a strand of pearls)
and move the ball along!


Sheeessshhh!
Problem solved!

What'll they think of next...doing it while riding a horse?
