...And she stepped on the ball

I would love to know what she was talking about.
I know this one!
In Auntie Mame (1958) a character named Gloria Upson comes into a meeting in the drawing room and starts talking about how her and...here's the direct quote:
Bunny Bixler and I were in the semi-finals—the very semi-finals, mind you—of the ping-pong tournament at the club and this ghastly thing happened. We were both playing way over our heads and the score was 29-28. And we had this really terrific volley and I stepped back to get this really terrific shot. And I stepped on the ping-pong ball! I just squashed it to bits. And then Bunny and I ran to the closet of the game room to get another ping-pong ball and the closet was locked! Imagine? We had to call the whole thing off. Well, it was ghastly. Well, it was just ghastly.
Susan Fallender plays Bunny in Trading Places and so she's just telling the same story to the gang at the club.
It's an homage by Landis to Auntie Mame (Which was nominated for 6 Oscars and so a great film which isn't too celebrated outside of those who know about it these days).
I hope that helps LA Baker!
