Bowling it ain't

Last night while I was bowling in blacklight with flourescant balls I was hitting the gutter and other lanes more often than pins. Until the last ball - they had called "shutdown of the lanes in two minutes" and said to everyone to keep bowling as many balls as they could before the counters/computers were turned off.
Everyone rushes so much that they bowl like me - miserably. 
That's when I get a strike with only one second to spare.
Workmates seem to only remember that strike, so it really aint what you do, it is the way that you do it.
