Funny title. Just the other day I told my coworker how happy and lucky I was that this guy gave me his old rubbers. The day they were given to me, another guy commented, "when you're as good as Tim, you always need to play with new rubbers." So, what am I talking about? Table tennis--I just joined a local table tennis club and I needed a better paddle (racket), and this nearly professional guy (he actually tried to play competitvely at the professional level, I was told, and that anybody who isn't actually a competing professional gets demolished by him) who I didn't know but was in awe of, out of the blue, gave me his old rubbers which were still in top condition! ($30 for one side, and $47 for the other!) Lucky me! (Another guy offered me his backup blade for $30, which I immediately bought.)
