What happened to the second-hand bowling balls?

[Aunt Carol]

When I was young, there were always used bowling balls at Goodwill. Super cheap, too; a couple of bucks, so maybe ten bucks today's money by the hamburger scale.

Now I haven't seen a bowling ball at Goodwill (or anywhere else) for months.

Did the last bowlers die thirty years ago? Where did the balls go?

I picture a cave, lit by phosphorescent fungus, the floor wall-to-wall with swirly-patterned bowling balls.

Yeah, that's the risk you run with buying second-hand.

They obviously hatched.. you see, bowling balls are actually the eggs of a very big spider species.
