With a capital T and that rhymes with P

And that stands for pool:

KAMPALA (Reuters) – Ugandan police have banned people from playing pool during the daytime because it encourages crime, local media said Wednesday.

The game is very popular in the east African nation, where pool tables sit under canopies outside thousands of small bars.

But Kampala police chief Grace Turyagumanawe said youths often played while drinking illegal spirits and smoking drugs.

“They also use this as a meeting place to make plans of robbing people of their property at night,” he told the Daily Monitor newspaper. “We are not banning the sport, but we are stopping people from playing it during the day.”

Bar owners like pool tables because they earn income but use no electricity. Uganda has suffered power cuts for months.

This calls for a song!

Oh, we got trouble!
Right here in River City!
Right here in River City!
With a capital “T” and that rhymes with “P”
And that stands for pool!
That stands for pool!
We’ve surely got trouble!
We’ve surely got trouble!
Right here in River City!
Right here!
Gotta figure out a way to keep the young ones
Moral after school.

    Whenever I see anything in the news about Uganda my memory always will recall Idi Amin.

    Hmmm… this is interesting.

    A Landlord I know (whom has thousands of units) had trouble with vandalism at one of his complexes.

    After careful consideration he decided to … remove the basketball courts nearby.

    Poof! The vandalism became a negligible problem. Go figure…
