Do you use the cue rest in a game of pool (aka the spastic stick)?

I've been coping a lot of flack in the office about my use of the cue rest when playing pool. What do you reckon, negative man points or a valid tool?
If, after draping your entire body over the table and you can no longer even get a single toe in contact with the floor in order to make a shot, then yes, the cue rest is allowable. Otherwise no. Under no circumstances is the cue rest acceptable on a half size table. The mere appearance of the cue rest in proximity of the table results in instant man-point reductions to all who are present.

Typical rude pool player attitude (Earl Strickland ish X| ). Just watch a snooker game, man and learn some fair play.

Possibly, but I used to play competition level snooker in my younger more foolish days. I consider pool a game to accompany a few beer, snooker is a game best played sober and in full control of your wits. I once beat Eddie Charlton in an exhibition match (at the Manly Leagues club), he was pissed at the time but it is my one claim to snooker fame and I really do treasure it. While giving Josh a hard time about using a rest is a bit of fun, not using it to play/win the game is plain stupid.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH
