The Rettke Special
Jerry Rettke, the owner of Walnut City Lanes, is a darn good bowler. But for no apparent reason, when he makes a mistake, he leaves the pins as you can see in the picture. It's a 3-4-6-7-9-10. It has happened so often to him that others began to poke fun at him, and he pokes fun at himself!
Now, at Walnut City Lanes (and a few other bowling alleys acknowledge it too) whenever someone's first shot leaves the pins like you see in the picture above, everyone around will point and laugh and say 'The Rettke Special!'
